Noah Cyrus' Heartfelt Tribute to Dolly Parton Leaves Fans Emotional

Noah Cyrus is paying tribute to sister Miley Cyrus’ godmother, Dolly Parton, after the country music icon’s death at age 80.

“I wanted the first words you heard to come from Miley, and now that she’s spoken, I’d like to share a few words about Dolly,” Noah, 26, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, August 27. “Dolly was singular, one of a kind. Dolly was a rainbow to our world for nearly six decades, and no one could ever come nor will ever come close to replacing her. Her impact on the world, and on me as an artist, is unparalleled. She was an angel among us who not only wrote songs that spoke to us all, but whose kindness, compassion, and empathy toward those who truly needed it were at the core of who Dolly was.”

Noah continued, “She never forgot where she came from, and she never stopped being her true self. She made it her duty to help others, not only through her music, but through her kindness and her commitment to helping those in need.”
