Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida, is asking fans to send prayers and positive thoughts for the country legend’s health. This comes one week after Dolly postponed six shows from her Dolly: Live in Las Vegas residency.
“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly,” Freida wrote on Facebook on October 7. “Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been led to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.”
“She’s strong, she’s loved,” Freida continued. “With all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you!”
Dolly’s Health Update
Dolly announced on September 28 that she is postponing her residency at the Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace—originally scheduled for December 4–13—until September 2026 due to health challenges.
“My doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures,” Dolly explained on Instagram. “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!”
She emphasized that she wants to give fans the best show possible.
“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, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you.”
Although she’s taking a break, Dolly will continue working on projects from her Nashville home and hopes to be back stronger than ever.
“Don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet,” she said. “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.”
