Dolly Parton's husband, Carl Thomas Dean, has passed away at the age of 82. The pair had been married nearly 60 years, having tied the knot when Dolly was 20 and Carl aged 23. Carl notoriously led a private life while supporting his musician wife from the background.
No cause of death has yet been issued, and according to a statement provided to by Dolly Parton’s publicist, her husband died in Nashville, Tennessee, and will be laid to rest in a private ceremony with immediate family in attendance. We look back on the pair's marriage and life together, in the aftermath of his passing.
