Dolly Parton’s Team Reveals the “Project Roadmap” She Left Behind for Decades of New Projects

The world may have lost Dolly Parton, but the late legend still has a lot more in store for fans. In a press release, the singer’s longtime manager, Danny Nozell, revealed all the upcoming, Parton-related projects that are due out in the next year.

From a jewelry line to a Broadway musical, the projects in the pipeline are as unique and varied as the star herself. That, Nozell said, is all thanks to Parton, who died after a short battle with cancer on Aug. 25. She was 80.

“Dolly worked up until the day she died. She loved seeing her dreams come to life, and loved knowing her work brought people joy,” he said. “Ever the planner, Dolly worked with the team that she handpicked, for the past several years to build a project roadmap that will guide us for decades to come.”

“As the leader of the team responsible for overseeing her legacy, we will ensure the many dreams she had yet to fulfill are brought to life,” Nozell continued. “Many projects were in various stages of development, and we want to be transparent with her fans about this fact. If you see unreleased music, products, books, experiences, and campaigns launched through official Dolly Parton channels, you can have confidence in knowing that she placed her personal stamp on it.”
