Dolly Parton’s last recorded vocals are set to appear on U2’s upcoming album, “Carnaval de Luz,” according to multiple reports. U2 frontman Bono says Parton recorded her vocals this past June.
Bono also says the recording took place while Parton was battling cancer, describing it as her final vocal work. ABC News and the outlets citing Bono frame the announcement as confirmation that the track will be part of the album’s lineup.
While the sources differ mainly in emphasis—some calling it Parton’s “last-ever” recording and others describing it as her “final” vocal recording—they agree on the core points: the material is recorded by Parton, it was completed in June, and it will feature on U2’s upcoming release. The reports do not provide additional details on the song’s title, release date, or production credits beyond Bono’s comments.
