John Mayer pays special tribute to Dolly Parton during private show

John Mayer paid an emotional tribute to the late singer Dolly Parton during his private SiriusXM show in the Hamptons.

During the show, the 48-year-old singer reflected on the country singer's ability to unite people, calling her life a “testament to love”

“Dolly would be really happy to see that ... the world came together in a way that it hadn’t in a very long time to celebrate someone," John told the VIP crowd. "While the world is paying tribute to one person and one soul, which feels good on its own, we’re all connected while that’s happening. I haven’t felt connected like that for a long time."

“Here’s a human being who carried herself through every decade of her life perfectly. I don’t know that there are many people in this world left that can galvanise a very fractured world to come together and share love for one person," he continued.

The New Light hitmaker added, "This is one human being who’s left this incredible testament to love throughout their whole life and you can feel it. This is what a life well‑lived looks like, feels like, sounds like.”

For those unversed, Dolly breathed her last on August 25, at the age of 80.
