Dolly Parton says she doesn't want to be turned into a hologram after her death

• Dolly Parton said she doesn't want a hologram made of her after she dies, the Times of London reported.
• Parton said during a press conference that she is wary of leaving "my soul here on this Earth."

Dolly Parton said that she isn't keen on being turned into a touring hologram after her death.

According to the Times of London, Parton made the remarks Thursday during a press conference in London to promote her new album, "Rockstar."

The 77-year-old country singer was asked if she has considered creating a show with a virtual version of herself, similar to the ABBA Voyage concerts.

"I think I've left a great body of work behind," Parton is reported to have said. "I have to decide how much of that high-tech stuff I want to be involved in because I don't want to leave my soul here on this Earth."

She continued: "I think with some of this stuff I'll be grounded here forever.... I'll be around, we'll find ways to keep me here."

Parton then cracked a joke that "everything" about her is artificial, and said that the trick to looking good at an older age is "good doctors, good makeup, and good lighting."

In recent years, holograms of deceased musicians such as Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, and 2Pac, have been used in live concerts.

While the band members of ABBA are still alive, producers Svana Gisla and Ludvig Andersson, and director Baillie Walsh, have created a virtual concert residency that depicts the famous band as they were in 1979.

The creative team has been organizing these concerts, called ABBA Voyage, in London since last year.

Earlier this year, after celebrating her 77th birthday, Parton told Insider that she isn't afraid of getting older.

The "Jolene" singer said: "Honestly, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, when I see young people today and I see what they're going to have to go through, especially in this day and time, I would honestly rather be this age than that age. They say wisdom comes with age, and you can't stop the aging process, nor the numbers."

She added: "As long as I stay healthy, the numbers shouldn't matter. I don't feel my age, I don't work my age, I don't think my age, and hopefully, I don't look my age!"
