Dolly Parton is giving advice to Kelly Clarkson and Reba McEntire following the death of Brandon Blackstock at the age of 48 from melanoma.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight published on Tuesday, August 12, the country music icon gave the singers advice that drew on insight gathered after Parton’s husband, Carl Dean, passed away at the age of 82 in March of this year.
“I think you just have to be grateful for the years that you’ve had with someone and you just try to remember the very best of all that,” Parton said. “Take their energy that they have given you… and kinda just recycle that and let that become a part of you.”

Parton added that while she has yet to reach out to Clarkson and McEntire, she will “catch up” with them once she’s wrapped up promotion for her book Star of the Show: My Life on Stage.
On August 7, Blackstock’s family confirmed he had passed away after a 3-year battle with cancer.
“It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away,” a rep for the family said in a statement. “Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family’s privacy during this very difficult time.”
The talent manager was known as both the ex-husband of Clarkson and the former stepson of McEntire. He was the father of two children with Clarkson, River, 11 and Remington, 9, and children Savannah and Seth from a previous marriage.
