Stevie Nicks and more confirmed to be singing on Dolly Parton's 'Rock Star' album

During an appearance on "The View," Parton said she wanted to make a rock album to help her feel her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction was legitimate.

"I didn't feel like I had earned it. ... If I'm gonna be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I'm gonna have to do something to earn it," she said.

Parton revealed the album will include some covers of classic rock songs, like the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven."

While Parton is aiming for pal Mick Jagger to help her on "Satisfaction," the legendary singer disclosed, "I think Pink and Brandi Carlile are going to be singing on that particular song with me."

Parton also revealed she and Nicks "just finished our song last night," but didn't say what they performed together.

Other people assisting Parton on her rock album include Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, former Journey singer Steve Perry, Paul McCartney and possibly Cher. Parton said she would only invite the icon if she could find the right song.

"We've been trying to get the right thing together. ... That's gonna be a big thrill," she teased.

No date on when this will come out, but something new to look forward to in any case.

Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood celebrate the life of the late Christine McVie

Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood reunite to remember their late bandmate Christine McVie in Malibu... two months after her passing.

 

Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood braved the rain to celebrate the life of their late Fleetwood Mac bandmember Christine McVie on Monday night.

As the trio reunited two months after English musician's death at 79 following a brief illness, the group looked somber while leaving Little Beach House Malibu.

For the occasion, Nicks, 74, wore a black jacket, matching pants, a light grey scarf and her voluminous blonde hair curly and free. 

While exiting the posh oceanfront venue, the two-time Grammy winner clutched one red and one white rose. 

Fleetwood, 75, wore a fedora, black jacket, a white button-down with a popped collar and dark-wash pants to the memorial.

McVie is best known for writing and singing some of their band's biggest hits, including Don't Stop, Little Lies, Say You Love Me, You Make Loving Fun and Songbird. 

Her genius and warm, soulful vocals helped to turn the one-time blues band into one of the most successful rock groups of all time, with more than 100million record sold worldwide.
