Dolly Parton’s and U2 collaboration is set to make a posthumous musical appearance on the Irish rock band in the forthcoming single “Torn,” set to be releases on Friday, November 13, as part of the band’s highly anticipated new studio album, “Carnaval De Luz.”
The announcement has attracted attention from country music fans around the world, a collaboration that carries emotional significance following Parton’s death on August 25.
The collaboration began when Bono approached Dolly Parton about contributing a separate, Irish folk-inspired musical project that he had been developing with Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol.
Bono explained that Parton wasn’t convinced about the original material suited her voice. Instead, she offered a song of her own called “Torn.”
Despite her passing, Parton’s voice will continue to reach audiences through the forthcoming U2 release, giving fans an opportunity to hear one of her final musical contributions.
The collaboration brings together two major figures from different musical traditions, with Parton building an extraordinary career through country music, while Bono leads the U2, one of the world’s most successful rock bands.
