Dolly Parton Sings ‘Her Heart Out’ on Posthumous U2 Collaboration ‘Torn’: Stream It Now
Dolly Parton’s final recorded vocal performance has been released as “Torn”, a duet with U2 frontman Bono. The song closes U2’s new album, *Carnaval De Luz*, and brings together two major artists in a recording made shortly before Parton’s death.
Parton recorded her vocals in June and approved the final mix before she died aged 80 on 25 August after a brief battle with cancer. Bono said she sang despite being ill, and that hearing the recording was difficult for him. U2’s first album of new material in nine years is available in several versions, including alternate mixes of “Torn”; the band is planning a tour for 2027.
