Dolly Parton's devoted fan base is in for a treat as Dollyfest: The Celebration of a Lifetime is set to hit Nashville and London. The festival, initially planned to coincide with Parton's 80th birthday in January, promises to be a star-studded tribute to the country music icon. Although Parton's performance was initially on the cards, it's unclear if she'll still take the stage.
