Dolly Parton’s Final Recording to Appear on U2’s Carnaval De Luz
Parton co-wrote the song and sings a duet with Bono.
Dolly Parton, the country music legend who passed away on August 25, will appear on U2’s upcoming album Carnaval De Luz, according to a report at Spin.
Parton and U2 will collaborate on “Torn,” a duet between Parton and Bono that serves as both the final song of the album and the final known recording of Parton’s career. The song, written by by U2, Parton and Johnny McDaid, reportedly centers on fractured family relationships.
