John Mayer paid tribute to Dolly Parton by performing a gentle cover of her 1974 song ‘I Will Always Love You’ during a SiriusXM concert in Amagansett, New York. He incorporated the song into the introduction to ‘Gravity’, reflecting the wider wave of musical tributes following Parton’s reported death.

Harry Styles also honoured Parton at the opening of his Madison Square Garden residency, thanking her for inspiring musicians before playing her recording of ‘I Will Always Love You’ for the audience to sing along to. In London, Jack White performed ‘Jolene’ at the Eventim Apollo, his first known live cover of the song since 2007, while Reba McEntire praised Parton’s generosity and lasting musical legacy.
