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.

‘I will always love you': Excited Wiggles meet legend Dolly
Australian music legends The Wiggles have saddled up with country superstar Dolly Parton in a meeting that was extra special for one Wiggle. After collaborating on two songs together remotely, Friends! and We Will Always Be Friends, the country legend and Aussie performers finally met up in Nashville, Tennessee. They had the chance to link while The Wiggles were performing in Parton's home State during their USA tour. 'From growing up singing her songs to actually singing with her, this was truly a dream come true,' The Wiggles said on social media. 'Meeting Dolly in Nashville felt like a big warm hug. Her kindness, joy and sparkle are everything we imagined and more. 'Dolly, you're a legend, a light and a friend for life.' It was an extra special meet up for Red Wiggle and super fan Caterina Mete, who has a tattoo of Parton on her forearm, which the country music singer signed. The Aussie music group met up with the country megastar.

'Hello Dolly, I'm Dolly,' the 9 to 5 singer said to the one-year-old. The Aussie music group met up with the country megastar. Credit: The Wiggles After meeting all the current members of The Wiggles, the group came together for a photo with Parton showing her appreciation for the Aussie icons. 'Thank you for being part of my life,' she said. 'Let's get a picture, let's get famous together.' Before saying cheese, the group had to teach Parton how to do their signature 'Wiggle Fingers'. The Wiggles are currently on the US leg of their Bouncing Balls tour, fittingly for their country music album Wiggle Up, Giddy Up where Parton featured on two songs. The album has cameos from other Aussie and international country music singers including MacKenzie Porter, Troy Cassar-Daley, Morgan Evans, Slim Dusty and Travis Collins.
