Update on Dolly Parton’s Health from Sister Freida

Freida Parton, Dolly Parton’s sister, reassured her fans after initially posting a plea for prayer, which caused concern among followers about Dolly’s wellbeing.

In a recent Facebook statement, Freida clarified that her earlier post was not meant to alarm anyone. She explained that Dolly has been feeling a bit under the weather, but there is no cause for panic. “I simply asked for prayers because I believe strongly in their power. It was just a request from a little sister for her big sister,” she stated.

Freida shared that she had spent the night praying for Dolly and expressed confidence that the singer would recover, thanks to the support from her loved ones and fans. She added, “Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. With all the prayers going up for her, I believe in my heart she’ll be just fine. Godspeed, my sister. We love you!”

Earlier that day, Freida revealed she had been “up all night praying” for Dolly, emphasizing her faith in prayer’s power. Fans responded with messages of support, wishing Dolly well.

Dolly recently postponed her Las Vegas residency due to health concerns, citing the need for medical procedures. She reassured fans in September, stating she remains committed to her career: “God hasn’t told me to stop yet,” she joked.

Tragedy struck earlier this year when Dolly lost her husband, Carl Dean, whom she married in 1966. She has also paused her music projects and canceled some appearances to focus on her health and recovery.
