Dolly Parton had a heart of gold — just ask Billy Ray Cyrus.
As Cyrus, 65, continues to grieve the death of his longtime friend, the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer reflected on his special memories of Parton via Instagram on Friday, August 28.
“Rest in Peace Miss Dolly. This is the last performance she and I did together in Dollywood for her Christmas special. We sang ‘Christmas Where We Are’!” he wrote alongside a photo featuring himself and Parton.
Cyrus went on to explain that the moment was particularly poignant for him, sharing that Parton stepped up for him in his time of need when his mom, Ruth Ann “Ruthie” Casto, died in 2022.

“I have so many moments and memories with Dolly, it’s hard to know where to start. Like every little boy, I grew up loving Dolly Parton. She was a part of our lives, on our TV’s, right in our living rooms,” he wrote via Instagram. “In 1992, I’ll never forget walking into her dressing room to apologize for all the tabloid stories which claimed I was having an affair with her. In true Dolly fashion, she just looked at me, winked and said, Honey, this trash sells records!’”
