There is no doubt that Dolly Parton, besides being a great singer, is also an excellent person, because whenever possible, she tries to surprise her fans, and this time she did it in a very emotional way.
The iconic artist made a dream come true for a fan, named LeGrand Gold, with terminal cancer, by giving him a beautiful serenade and fulfilling his great desire to meet her. LeGrand Gold’s story quickly became the talk of the world. Although he had been fighting a difficult battle with cancer for the past four years, doctors recently informed him that his cancer had spread.
As a result, doctors told him that the treatments could no longer help him, so he was sent home to spend his last days surrounded by family and friends. LeGrand began to focus on fulfilling a wish list, which not only included traveling with his family and getting closer to his children but also meeting his favorite singer, Dolly Parton.
Dolly Parton Serenades One of Her Biggest Fans
Just as LeGrand was about to give up, a phone call last Friday, December 22, changed everything, as Dolly Parton was on the other end of the line. The singer greeted Gold warmly, joked around a bit, and then chatted for a few minutes.
“I’ve heard that you’ve been a fan of mine for many years, and I just wanted to thank you for that. I’m happy that we got to make our journey together in this life. I always want to make people happy with my music and with the things I do and the things I say. I’m happy to know that I’ve touched your life in some way. So thank you for honoring me with that,” the singer commented.
After that, Parton took the opportunity to sing her hit “I Will Always Love You,” adding Gold’s name to the lyrics to cap off the call.
