U2’s new album, “Carnaval de Luz”, comes out Friday, and on it is a song called “Torn”, which features Dolly Parton’s final recording.

Bono says, quote, “I was surprised that she ran with it and she sang it like she just took flight… Amazing vocal.  And she was ill at the time.  We didn’t know how ill, of course. And she got out of bed to sing this song.  And it meant a lot to us at the time, just knowing she was ill, that she would even consider doing something with us.”
