Reba McEntire recently shared that she missed a final phone call from her longtime friend Dolly Parton shortly before the legendary singer passed away. Parton died August 25 after a brief battle with cancer, leaving many to wonder about the nature of that final attempt at communication.
It is honestly heartbreaking to imagine missing a call from someone who meant so much to you, only to realize later that it was your last chance to speak with them. McEntire explained that the timing was just unfortunate, as she was tied up in a meeting when the call came through. She told Entertainment Tonight, “She did call me the last of July, and I was in a meeting and I missed her call.”
