Dolly Parton just can’t write music these days.

The country music legend, 79, revealed on the “Khloé in Wonder Land” podcast she is still grieving the death of her husband Car Dean.

“My husband passed away three months ago,” she said.

“Several things I’ve wanted to start, but I can’t do it. I will later, but I’m just coming up with such wonderful, beautiful ideas. But I think I won’t finish it.”

It’s just too emotional, she said.

“I can’t do it right now because I’ve got so many other things that I can’t afford the luxury of getting that emotional right now,” she said.

The country music icon added she still loves music, and that won’t go away.

“There are times like that, things like that that will start here a little bit, but I’ll write something else, though, if it comes,” she said.

In March, Dean died in Nashville. He was 82, and the two were married for 60 years.

Parton announced the news at the time during in an Instagram post.

“Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.”
