Bob discusses the loss of Dolly Parton on BBC’s Newsnight
““Dolly had a natural, lovely energy about her which people really responded to. This wide-eyed innocence and open heartedness characterised her.
Thank you for the love you gave the world Dolly. You were a force for good””
Bob appeared alongside Suzi Quatro on BBC’s Newsnight programme on 25th August 2026 to discuss the sad passing of an icon of popular culture - and Bob’s friend - the extraordinary Dolly Parton.
Dolly sadly passed away on 25th August in Nashville, Tennessee after a "brief battle" with cancer, leaving an extraordinary 60 year legacy of charitable works & a catalogue of 3000 songs.
