Dolly Parton, 77, surprised fan LeGrand Gold, who has been battling cancer for two years, by calling him and serenading him with «I Will Always Love You.»
Dolly Parton granted a dying man’s Christmas wish.
Utah resident LeGrand Gold, who grew up in Tennessee just like Parton, has been a big fan of the legendary singer for nearly his entire life.
So when he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2019, he and his wife, Alice Gold, made a “bucket list” of 11 things he wanted to do before he died. One of those wishes was to “meet Dolly Parton.”
“I thought, ‘Well, it’s never going to happen,’” he told KSL-TV of the dream.
Earlier this month, the father of five was told that his cancer was “spreading” and the chemo was “not working anymore” — meaning he didn’t have much time left to do everything on his list.
