Dolly Parton is working on a rock album — but says she has "no intention" to "ever tour again"

Dolly Parton has been making music for decades and just months ago released a new album. Now, the music icon says she has a rock album on the way – but that it won't be accompanied with a music tour. 

In March, Parton released "Run, Rose, Run," a 12-track country album unveiled as a companion to her first novel of the same name, which she wrote alongside bestselling author James Patterson. The novel, a fiction thriller "about a young singer-songwriter on the rise and on the run, determined to do whatever it takes to survive," will also be made into a feature film under Reese Witherspoon's media company Hello Sunshine. 

Last week in an interview with PollStar Magazine, the Grammy award-winning music artist said that she's working on a rock 'n' roll record as well, an endeavor she embarked on after she was nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the spring.
