“I want to clear something up. I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly,” Freida wrote.
“She’s been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister.”
She added: “Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference.”
A spokesperson for the singer also told CBS News (via BBC News), that she will be posting a message on social media later today (October 8) that “will address everyone’s concerns”.
BBC News also reported that the singer was recently forced to pull out of a Dollywood event after being diagnosed with a kidney stone that she said was causing “a lot of problems”.
She was due to perform six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in December but she postponed the gigs until December 2026.
Writing about her health, Parton recently seemed in high spirits, telling fans that she had joked with her doctors that “it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!”
She also went on to say that she will still be able to “work on mall of my projects from here in Nashville” and that she needs “a little time to get show ready”.
Parton went on to assure fans that she’s not planning on retiring yet: “Don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet. 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.”
