Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, has requested fans to pray for the singer, who recently postponed a planned residency in Las Vegas due to unspecified health issues. The 79-year-old country music icon announced the decision to delay her December concerts, stating that she needs “a few procedures” to address ongoing “health challenges.”
Freida Parton shared her concerns on Facebook, mentioning that she had been praying for Dolly and highlighting that Dolly had not been feeling her best lately. She expressed her belief in the power of prayer and called on fans to join her in prayer for Dolly’s well-being. Freida concluded her message with an optimistic sentiment, stating that Dolly is strong and loved, and expressed confidence that she will recover.
Dolly Parton was set to perform six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December but has postponed the gigs until September of next year, citing insufficient time for rehearsal. While the nature of her health issues has not been publicly specified, it is known that she recently had to withdraw from a Dollywood event due to a kidney stone, which she described as causing “a lot of problems.”
Earlier this year, Parton experienced the loss of her husband, Carl Dean, after nearly 60 years of marriage, and she later dedicated a new song to his memory. Dolly Parton is highly recognized for a series of crossover hits, including “Coat of Many Colors,” “I Will Always Love You,” “9 to 5,” and “Jolene.” This Las Vegas engagement would have marked her first return to the Strip since performing alongside Kenny Rogers in the 1990s.
