Other artists around the world also paid tribute to Parton, including Eminem, who shared a letter Dolly sent to him when he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

"I’m sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn’t have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words," Eminem wrote alongside the letter.
