Dolly Parton to show off her mysterious husband

MANY of the singer’s closest aides have no idea what he looks like and he has only attended one of his wife’s shows. But that’s about to change.

DOLLY Parton’s famously shy husband Carl Dean will join the singer onstage to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary next year.

Dean is rarely seen with his famous wife and she often jokes about the lengths he goes to to avoid the spotlight, but Dolly’s husband has agreed to be part of her anniversary party in May.

Dean, 73, who owns and operates a road repair company in Tennessee, will hit the stage with Parton, 69, when she performs at their Willow Lake Plantation home.

Dolly’s goddaughter revealed the big news last week, stating Dean will be at the party “not to sing - just to be there, at her side, in the spotlight.”

The myth surrounding Dean suggests fewer than 30 photos of him with Parton have been published, many of the singer’s closest aides have no idea what he looks like, he has never spoken to a member of the media and has only attended one of his wife’s shows.
