Dolly Parton reunited Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr again for a newly released Let It Be duet.
Most recently, the 77-year-old country music star teamed up with the song’s original writer, 81, and the drummer, 83, to drop her piano-led rendition of the Beatles’ iconic 1970 hit.
The track also features Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood, 76, and solo artist Peter Frampton, 73.
Jolene’s hitmaker – who said she will NEVER retire and would rather “drop dead on stage” – made the cover as an add-on for Rockstar.
Her highly anticipated rock medley will be released on November 17.
