Dolly Parton performed late brother’s song at his funeral

Dolly Parton paid tribute to her late brother Floyd Parton by performing his song Rockin’ Years at his funeral.
The singer-songwriter passed away on 6 December (18) following a mystery illness, and he was subsequently laid to rest in a private memorial on Monday (10Dec18).
“Dolly, and the entire Parton Family, wish to thank everyone for their kindness,” a representative for the family tells The Blast.
“Yesterday, we laid our sweet baby brother to rest. We all sang his lovely song, Rockin’ Years, together as a family at the service to say goodbye to him. (He) lived a short life of love and beautiful songs.”
Floyd was responsible for writing Rockin’ Years, Dolly’s duet with Ricky Van Shelton, in 1991.
His cause of death has yet to be revealed.
