The queen of country music, Dolly Parton, has been facing some serious health challenges, and her younger sister, Freida Parton, just broke the internet with a deeply emotional plea for prayers!
The whole thing started two weeks ago when the 79-year-old music legend postponed her massive Las Vegas residency, Dolly: Live in Las Vegas, which was supposed to happen in December.
The reason? "Health challenges." But nobody knew the full gist until now!
The Prayer Request That Made Everyone Fear The Worst
Freida Parton took to social media and dropped a heavy message. She told the world she had been "up all night praying" for her big sister Dolly.
She wrote: "Many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately... I have been led to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me."
Omo! That kind of message from a family member immediately made fans fear the absolute worst! It looked like a serious matter!
Manager Clears Air: "It Was Blown Out Of Proportion!"
Just as the global panic was setting in, Dolly’s manager, Olly Rowland, quickly stepped in to calm nerves and clear the air.
He confessed that Freida's post, though heartfelt, got "quite a bit blown out of proportion."
He then revealed a key fact: Dolly had been treated for kidney stones! So it wasn't a death sentence, thankfully!
Freida herself followed up, saying she didn't "mean to scare anyone" and confirmed Dolly was just a "little under the weather."
Dolly’s Gist: "Time For My 100,000-Mile Checkup"
Trust Dolly Parton to drop a joke even when the matter is serious!
The icon made light of the situation, telling her fans that she had to postpone the show because she needs "a few procedures."
She joked with her doctors, saying it must be "time for my 100,000-mile checkup, although it's not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!" Na wa o!
In all seriousness, Dolly said she cannot rehearse and put on the show her fans deserve unless she takes a break to get "show ready."
The Queen Is Not Retiring Yet!
Good news for all her fans! Dolly Parton gave a strong assurance that she is absolutely NOT quitting the business.
She believes God is simply telling her to "slow down right now" so she can be ready for bigger adventures later.
Remember, this health scare comes months after she lost her husband of almost 60 years, Carl Dean, who passed away in March.
We thank God for the positive news!
