Country Star Dolly Parton To Tour Europe

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) ― Country singer Dolly Parton will kick off her first major European tour since the 1970s in Denmark in March, the organizer of the Danish event said Monday.

The 60-year-old country star will start her eight-stop tour in Horsens, 125 miles west of Copenhagen, on March 7, said Horsens Ny Teater, a theater company organizing the Danish concert.

She will continue to Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, England and Scotland before ending the tour April 2 in Dublin, Ireland, the company said,

Horsens Ny Teater said it was the first time since the 1970s that Parton had embarked on a major European tour.

Parton's hits range from the very country "Jolene" to ballads like "I Will Always Love You" and pop hits like "Here You Come Again." She also starred in several Hollywood films, such as "9 to 5," "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" and "Steel Magnolias.
