In a new radio interview, the “9 to 5” singer said that she’s in talks to pose for Playboy for her 75th birthday in January but noted the shoot would have to be “in good taste.” She previously appeared on the cover in 1978 but did not appear naked for the inside spread.
“Yeah, I just might do it. If I can do it in good taste and we’ll do it along with a really good interview inside,” she said on the “Scott Mills & Chris Stark Show” on Radio 5 Live. “So, yeah, we’ve talked about it.”
In March, Parton teased a Playboy collaboration when asked if she had plans to retire.
The band debuted in 1973, eventually making a name for themselves throughout the ’70s with their wild stage makeup and costumes.

The band KISS did their own makeup when they were just starting out, as evidenced by this photo from 1974. Rhythm guitarist and co-lead vocalist Paul Stanley applies red lipstick while guitarist and co-lead singer Peter Criss is working on his eye makeup.
