WANTAGH, NY — Country music superstar Chris Stapleton paid tribute to Dolly Parton Wednesday, performing her hit "I Will Always Love You" during his concert at the Northwell at Jones Beach Theater.
In a video posted the theater, Stapleton can be seen performing the opening verse of Parton's hit in what the theater's social media called, "a beautiful cover."
America lost Parton earlier this week, as her family announced that the country music legend and philanthropist had died at 80.
In the days since her passing, tributes and honors have rolled in from across the country: Corn mazes in Illinois and Connecticut, a candlelight vigil in California, and a performance from Pitbull in Wantagh Tuesday.
