The legendary Dolly Parton turned 80 on Monday, and she received a special birthday surprise from U2 frontman Bono.
Dolly shared an Instagram video of bagpiper Pat Darcy playing “Happy Birthday” in a conference room, as a cake reading “Love Bono” was brought in. She then blew out all the candles, joking, “I did it!”
“Now that’s what you call a surprise!” Dolly wrote in the caption. “This old bag sure feels the love! Thank you, Bono and @u2 for making my birthday extra special.”
In the video, Dolly tells Darcy, “Well, thank you. I saw that cake said, ‘From Bono,’ so he must have sent you as a present to me. Well, thank you guys. I appreciate all of you.”
Darcy replies, “It’s an absolute delight to be here on behalf of the whole band.”
Darcy also posted about the experience on his Instagram, writing, “This morning I had the pleasure of playing a few tunes, on behalf of Bono and the boys, for Dolly Parton for her 80th birthday.” He added, “I also presented her with a pint of Guinness. There was even time for a nice chat.”
“She was exactly who you’d hope she’d be,” he concluded. “Happy 80th Birthday Dolly!”

(CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas) — The Robb Elementary School gunman ducked behind a parked car when former Uvalde, Texas, school police officer Adrian Gonzales initially drove by him, an eyewitness told jurors on Tuesday.
That move, defense lawyers allege, prevented Gonzales from being able to clearly spot the gunman when he first arrived at the school on May 24, 2022.
Claudia Rodriguez, a secretary at the funeral home that neighbored Robb, was the first witness called by the defense, and she told jurors that she witnessed gunman Salvador Ramos exit his car with a rifle after crashing into a ditch.
Rodriguez said Ramos ducked behind a nearby parked car when Gonzales drove by him.
“And at the time you see the white car [driven by Gonzales], you see the figure, kind of ducking down between the cars. Is that how you remember seeing it?” defense attorney Jason Goss asked.
“Yes sir,” Rodriguez replied.
Rodriguez also testified that she tried to warn other arriving officers that the shooter entered the school, but they did not run in to stop him.
“Gilbert [Limones, another funeral home employee,] and I are yelling at them upon their arrival and after they exited their car that he’s already inside,” she said.
“Did those officers then go immediately to where you told them and run inside the building?” Goss asked.
“No. I believe, if I remember correctly, they got back into the car and went around the school towards the front of Robb,” she said.
Prosecutors allege Gonzales, who is charged with child endangerment, did not follow his training and endangered the 19 students who died and an additional 10 surviving students.
Defense attorneys have sought to highlight that other officers arrived within the same timeframe as Gonzales but failed to act.
Gonzales has pleaded not guilty and his lawyers argue he is being unfairly blamed for a broader law enforcement failure that day.

(EL PASO, Texas) — An undocumented immigrant died while in custody at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Texas, federal authorities said.
Victor Manuel Diaz, 36, of Nicaragua, died of a “presumed suicide” on Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana, a sprawling tent complex at the U.S. Army’s Fort Bliss base in El Paso, ICE said Sunday. The official cause of death remains under investigation, the agency said.
ICE said Diaz illegally entered the U.S. in March 2024 and an immigration judge ordered him removed in absentia in August 2025.
Diaz had been in federal custody since Jan. 6, when ICE said its officers “encountered” him in Minneapolis amid the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota. He was arrested for an immigration violation and ICE processed him as a final order of removal on Jan. 12, the agency said.
Two days later, security staff found Diaz unconscious and unresponsive in his room, ICE said. He was pronounced dead following life-saving measures by on-site medical staff and El Paso emergency medical services personnel, according to ICE.
“ICE is committed to ensuring that all those in custody reside in safe, secure and humane environments,” ICE said in a press release.
Diaz’s death is the second reported by ICE at the Camp East Montana detention facility this month.
On Jan. 3, Geraldo Lunas Campos, 55, of Cuba, was pronounced dead “after experiencing medical distress,” ICE said. His cause of death is under investigation, ICE said in a Jan. 9 press release.
The El Paso County medical examiner’s office said Tuesday that it does not have any record of Diaz, and the case and manner of death are pending for Lunas Campos.
