Queen recognizes Queen.
Following news of Dolly Parton‘s departure from this Earthly realm, Beyoncé updated her website to release a full homepage tribute to the country music pioneer.
On Tuesday, along with a black and white photo of the Imagination Library legend herself, the following statement was released on beyonce.com:
DOLLY,
YOU WERE THE BAROMETER.
THE NORTH STAR. BOLD AND BRILLIANT. TALENTED AND TENACIOUS.
YOU TAUGHT SO MANY LESSONS ON HOW TO BE UNIQUELY ONESELF.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR ART, YOUR HEART, YOUR GENEROSITY, YOUR HUMOR, YOUR ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
I’M HONORED THAT I HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH YOU. I WILL TREASURE THAT FOREVER.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROFOUND IMPACT ON THE WORLD.
YOU ARE AN ANGEL WHO HAS MADE THIS WORLD A HAPPIER PLACE BECAUSE OF YOUR JOYFUL ART.
YOU ARE TRULY ONE OF ONE.
REST PEACEFULLY.
“Truly one of one.” Can’t get any better of a compliment than that!
Juggernauts across all industries have been paying tribute to the Jolene singer ever since the heartbreaking news dropped today. From Shania Twain to even Eminem, everyone’s life has been positively impacted by Dolly.
May she rest in peace and rainbows.
