Dolly Parton’s Sister Eases Fans’ Fears Over Health

After a wave of concern from fans, Dolly Parton’s sister Freida clarified that the 79-year-old country legend’s recent health issues are “not so serious.”

The confusion began after Freida posted a late-night call for prayers, prompting widespread worry when Dolly postponed her Las Vegas shows due to unspecified medical procedures.

Hours later, Freida reassured fans that it was a simple sisterly plea for support, not a sign of serious illness.

Dolly, who recently said she’s not retiring anytime soon, will return to the stage next year and is still set to receive an honorary Oscar.

Fans worldwide continue to send her messages of love, echoing Freida’s hopeful words: “She’s strong, she’s loved, and she’ll be just fine.”
