Vols Honor Dolly Parton in Season Opener | Huntsville News

Tennessee Volunteers are paying heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton in their season opener, honoring the music legend with helmet stickers and more — including a halftime show and surprise moments between quarters. This emotional celebration comes just weeks after her passing at 80, following a battle with cancer. Last year, she performed “Rocky Top” at Neyland Stadium with Peyton Manning escorting her — a moment fans won’t soon forget. Despite health struggles, including canceling her Las Vegas residency, Dolly remained fiercely dedicated to her art, even while caring for her late husband Carl Dean. Her legacy lives on as Vols fans rally to celebrate a true icon. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
