Dolly Parton’s sister says she has been “up all night praying” as the country superstar deals with unspecified health problems.
Freida Parton said her 79-year-old sibling “hasn’t been feeling her best lately”.
Last month Parton postponed a scheduled Las Vegas residency, citing “health challenges”.
Parton had been due to perform six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for Dolly: Live in Las Vegas in December, but rescheduled for September 2026.
In a post on Facebook, Freida Parton said: “Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly.
“As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon.
“In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you.
“Don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet,” she wrote.
“But I believe he is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you.”
