Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton, queen of the veteran country stars, will never quit her singing career - because she'd happily resort to selling albums from the back of her car if she ever lost her recording contract.

The 9 to 5 songstress, 63, has enjoyed a career spanning four decades, selling over 100 million records around the world and earning herself a string of honours, including seven Grammy Awards.

It seems Dolly doesn't want think about retirement just yet, having vowed to continue entertaining as long as she lives.

She tells AARP magazine, "After you reach a certain age, they think you're over. Well, I will never be over.

"I'll be making records if I have to sell them out of the trunk of my car. I've done that in my past, and I'd do it again."

Imagine that, a world-famous country music superstar peddling CDs out of a car boot. Surely Dolly's fans wouldn't stand for it!
