Mötley Crüe recruit Dolly Parton for new version of Home Sweet Home
The rock legends have joined forces with none other than country music icon Dolly on a 40th anniversary version of the power ballad originally released on the 1985 album Theatre of Pain, and again in 1991 for the Decade of Decadence 81-91 compilation album.
Another country star, Carrie Underwood, released a cover of Home Sweet Home in 2009.
A portion of the proceeds from the single will benefit Covenant House, a non-profit providing safe shelter, meals, hope and more to help youth experiencing homelessness.
A new music video will also drop at 5pm BST.
The song is part of the From The Beginning singles collection set for release on September 12, 2025, the same day the Crüe will kick off their 10-show residency at Las Vegas' Dolby Live at Park MGM.
Mötley Crüe - comprising Vince Neil, Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx and John 5 - commented: "Home Sweet Home was first released in 1985 as a single from our Theatre Of Pain album. For an icon like Dolly Parton to sing on a song that has not only meant so much to us but to all the fans through the years, is a career high that means a lot to us. We couldn't be happier to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Home Sweet Home in this special way, and we're excited to share this version of the song with all the Dolly and Mötley fans around the world.'
On the special cause, they added: 'That we were able to unite with Dolly to raise awareness for homeless youth and the amazing work of Covenant House, which provides them safe housing and care, makes it even more special. We hope you'll enjoy Home Sweet Home featuring Dolly Parton as much as Dolly and we enjoyed creating it.'
Dolly added: 'It was an honour and a joy working in the studio on Mötley Crüe's 40th Anniversary re-release of 'Home Sweet Home'. I was so pleased that they would ask me to sing on such a classic.'
From The Beginning spans four decades of Crüe anthems, from the global single and MTV video Live Wire, all the way through to 2024's Top 5 Rock smash Dogs Of War. Plus, fan-favourites Kickstart My Heart, Dr. Feelgood, Girls, Girls, Girls, Shout at the Devil, Smokin' In The Boys Room, Wild Side and many more.

This show is the next best thing to Dolly 'live and in concert'
Tricia Paoluccio grew up on an almond farm in Modesto, California, singing the songs of Dolly Parton and daydreaming about following in her footsteps. That dream has come true. Tricia is travelling the world as Dolly in Here You Come Again, a musical comedy she co-wrote with Bruce Vilanch and her husband, Gabriel Barre. Her parents still live on the farm, and it's where the idea for Here You Come Again was born. "My husband and I developed the idea and wrote it there during lockdown in 2020," she tells Weekender. "It's my favourite place on Earth." The heartfelt musical tells the story of a diehard Dolly Parton fan whose fantasy version of the international icon helps him navigate life's toughest challenges. With her wit, humour, and charm, Dolly teaches him invaluable lessons about life, love, and how to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. The show, which is produced by arrangement with Dolly herself, sold-out seasons across the US and UK and is now touring Australia. Tricia plays the role of Dolly alongside Dash Kruck (Little Shop of Horrors, Jesus Christ Superstar) as Kevin, Kellie Rode (Come From Away) as Mum, Laura Joy Bunting (Grease The Musical) as Tish, and Bailey Dunnage (Ride The Cyclone) as Jeremy. The musical has been adapted for Australia by Fiona Harris and Mike McLeish and will feature all of Dolly's hits, including Jolene, 9 to 5, Islands in the Stream and I Will Always Love You. "I didn't come from a music family but my mother loved musicals and took me to musicals as a kid, we watched all the musical films together, I did dance classes, and she really supported my love of it," Tricia says. "It was my mum who bought me my first album, Here You Come Again, when I was six, which is where all this began." Tricia's other New York Broadway credits include Fiddler on the Roof, The Green Bird and A View from the Bridge. Having grown up mimicking Dolly's voice, Tricia had to "unlearn" how to sing like Dolly to find her own voice. "You know, I think my own voice was waiting for me all along, but there is a lesson in trusting that what you are is enough," she says. "Even when I don't sing as Dolly, her influence on my natural style is ever-present. "When I am performing as Dolly, it does feel like her essence naturally channels through me. In the same way that when I am not being Dolly, the essence of me, Tricia, is just there. "Funnily enough, while I feel like many of Dolly's characteristics have shaped me, as Tricia, I have no desire to wear make-up and fancy clothes, and slip very comfortably back to being me: a mum, a daughter, a friend and wife." Working with creative teams in each of the countries Here You Come Again visits is a joy, she says, and keeps things fresh. "The story of the show is universal, but it's a lovely opportunity to work with a local creative team, to ensure that the show sits in every environment it's performed in and is easily relatable," Tricia says. "I adore the Australian company, they are super talented, wonderful actors and multi-skilled performers, and I honestly feel like already I've made new life longfriends. "What an honour it is to travel the world and work with incredible artists along the way, all of us united by telling this beautiful story of hope and love. Every day we all get to do what we love, for work, and that is a great privilege." And her favourite Dolly songs to sing on stage? "I love singing Little Andy which is not one of Dolly's most well-known hits, but I love it for the comedy and tragedy," Tricia replies. "I sing this and I get to simultaneously make the audience laugh and cry at the same time. It's a true country song!"

Dolly Parton named Guinness World Records icon
US country star Dolly Parton has been named a Guinness World Records icon for holding 11 record-breaking titles. As part of its 70th anniversary celebrations, the company - which lists world record achievements - has honoured the Jolene singer, 79, with an Icon certificate, presented to her at her studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Her record titles include most consecutive decades with top 10 album entries on the Billboard country chart, most studio albums released by a female country singer, and most Grammy nominations for a female country artist. She was also the first country singer to be nominated for the EGOT - an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony - aka the "Grand Slam of showbusiness". Craig Glenday, editor in chief at Guinness World Records, said: "Dolly is undoubtedly one of the most celebrated writers and performers in the history of country music, as reflected in her many Guinness World Records certificates, but her reach and influence extends far beyond the musical world. "There are so many projects close to her heart - poverty relief, education, medical research and of course the Imagination Library free-books campaign - and it's these important, life-changing initiatives that propels Dolly into a different league. She truly is a living legend, and it's an honour to bestow GWR Icon status upon her." Guinness World Records published its first book in London in 1955 and has sold more than 143 million copies in over 100 countries since then. The Icon certificate has previously been awarded to stars including Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Drake, Sir Paul McCartney, and Sir Elton John. Parton, who is from Tennessee, released her debut album, Hello, I'm Dolly in 1967 and had a run of hits in the 1970s. By the 1980s she was a huge star and made her movie debut in screwball comedy 9 To 5. Her most recent album was Rockstar, released in 2023, and she recently featured in a version of Sabrina Carpenter's Please Please Please. She is also the co-owner of the Dollywood Company, which operates Dollywood, a theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
