Dolly Parton is in mourning.

The country superstar, 79, has lost her husband, Carl Dean, whom she was married to for nearly 60 years. He died on Monday in Nashville, Tennessee, at age 82.

Dean’s passing was revealed on Parton’s Instagram moments ago.

“Carl Dean, husband of Dolly Parton, passed away March 3rd in Nashville at the age of 82. He will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family attending. He is survived by his siblings Sandra and Donnie,” the post stated.

The “I Will Always Love You” singer included a few words of her own.

“Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy,” her message read. “The family asks for privacy during this difficult time.”

His cause of death has not been disclosed.

Dean was born in Nashville in 1942 to Virginia “Ginny” Bates Dean and Edgar “Ed” Henry Dean; however, not much is known about his life before Parton.

This is a developing story.
