Episode Details

Rob Halford, the Metal God, stunned fans when he joined Dolly Parton on stage at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 to perform Jolene—a moment he joked was “kind of predestined” thanks to his clairvoyant grandmother. Dolly’s team reached out, and Halford, thrilled and slightly nervous about his outfit, delivered a powerhouse performance that left him speechless—and Dolly so impressed she playfully cleaned his beard before the show. The magic didn’t end there: the next year, they teamed up again on Dolly’s rock album Rockstar, dueting on “Bygones,” with Halford calling it one of the most meaningful collaborations of his career. He called Dolly a “beautiful beacon of life,” and the whole experience felt like meeting a living legend who treated him like family.
