Dolly Parton's Last Recorded Song References a 'Family at War'

In the duet of the song, Parton and Bono sing: "Torn apart these loving hearts / That beat and break the same / We share a house divided / And the blood that fills our veins," via TMZ.

Dolly also goes on to sing: "Are you your brother's keeper now? Or know what you're fighting for? / Nothing hurts a mother more than a family at war."

The lyrics from the new track appeared to be foreshadowing by Parton. Because shortly after his death, her family appeared to indeed be at war.

The drama escalated after Dolly's Nephew, Bryan Seaver, was axed as head of security by Parton's estate. Seaver served as head of his Aunt's security team for more than two decades. According to a report from TMZ, Seaver received the notice on September 16. Bryan's termination letter, which was obtained by the outlet, notified him that he and his security companies had been "immediately dismissed" from all of Parton's properties. 

Parton's Niece and Nephew Were Both Sacked By Her Estate

In response, Bryan and his team blasted Dolly's longtime business manager, Danny Nozell. In a statement to TMZ, Seaver and his team say that they were "dismayed by the unexpected and so far unexplained actions" in the weeks following his aunt's death. 

Additionally, Bryan's sister Rebecca Seaver had been hired as the person to oversee her aunt Dolly's Life of Many Colors Museum. It officially opened on September 29 in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. However, according to a report from TMZ, Rebecca, like her brother, was sacked from her position by the estate.

Rebecca had been named the executive director of the museum. She and Jolene, the creator's sister, Rachel Parton George, played a major role in executing the project.

Parton passed away on August 25 at age 80 after a brief battle with cancer
