Dolly Parton has put plans to release a dance album on hold as she's so busy with other projects.

Revealing she'd work on a record especially for the LGBT community in 2014, Parton hasn't since given any updates on the project - until now.
Speaking to The Guardian, she explained: "Every time I start to work on that, something else comes up, like this big tour.
"I'll have to put that dance album on the shelf again. But one day I promise you I will get that out. One of the songs is 'I'm A Wee Bit Gay'. It's a fun, tongue-in-cheek type of song. I promise I'll get it out."
The tour she's referencing is the first major North American tour she's embarked on in over 25 years, promoting new album 'Pure & Simple'.
Reflecting on her LGBT fans she admitted she doesn't know why she's such a big name in that community.
She said: "I don't really know why for sure. I'm just happy it is. I've often said people don't come to see me to see me, they come to see me to see them. I've been around so long, so a lot of people grew up with me. I feel more like a family member or an aunt or an older sister or a friend. They know I'm a little different myself.
"I've fought for the right to be myself, so that is one of the reasons that the gays and lesbians relate to me. They know that I appreciate everybody for who they are. We are who we are, so why can't we be allowed to be that? I ain't out to preach no sermons, I'm just out to do my work, sing my songs and write them, and love people and share them."
