"I appreciate you." See the heartwarming personal message Dolly Parton sent to Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx following their recent collaboration

Dolly Parton and Nikki Sixx

It's pretty much a globally accepted fact that Dolly Parton is one of the coolest, classiest people in all of music. It's probably why, when the country icon revealed that she'd be releasing a rock album titled Rockstar later this year, featuring special guest appearances from Rob Halford, Nikki Sixx, Steven Tyler, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and many more, she was widely welcomed by the rock community.

Now, it's been revealed that Parton sent Nikki Sixx a lovely, personal note thanking him for his involvement on the track Bygones (also featuring Rob Halford and Sixx's newly instated Mötley Crüe bandmate, John 5). As it turns out, the song debuted at number one on the US Mediabase Classic Rock Songs chart, and Parton wanted to commemorate the occasion.
