Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida, has shared her worries about Dolly’s health. In a heartfelt Facebook post, Freida mentioned that Dolly, who is 79, hasn’t been feeling well lately. This comes just two weeks after Dolly postponed her Las Vegas residency due to health challenges.
Freida said, “Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly.” She believes in the power of prayer and asked everyone who loves Dolly to join her in prayer. “She’s strong, she’s loved, and I have faith that she’ll be fine,” she wrote.
Dolly was set to perform in Vegas for the first time in 32 years, starting on December 4. However, she will now kick off her shows in September 2026. In her announcement, Dolly revealed that she needs to undergo some procedures, although she didn’t specify what they are. She joked about needing a “100,000-mile checkup” but acknowledged she’s not quite ready for the big stage yet.
“I just need a little time to get show-ready,” she said. Dolly reassured fans that she’s not retiring. She is simply taking a moment to heal and prepare for more adventures.
In recent years, many fans have expressed their love and concern for Dolly on social media. Viral posts often highlight her dedication to her fans and her cheerful spirit. This kind of support is vital, especially as research shows that a strong community can boost recovery and well-being.
Even in tough times, Dolly’s unwavering positivity shines. She once told the Guardian, “I always say I’ve dreamed myself into a corner. I couldn’t retire if I wanted to. And I don’t want to.”
As she navigates through this health journey, her resilience and connection to her fans continue to inspire many.
