Miley Cyrus opens up about Dolly Parton’s condition after her public appeal for prayers

Concern grew for Dolly Parton’s health after the country music icon postponed her Las Vegas residency. Her sister, Freida, deepened these worries with a Facebook post asking fans for their prayers.

Freida later clarified her request, stating she did not intend to alarm anyone. This came after the 79-year-old singer had previously mentioned needing “a few procedures,” which initially led to the show postponements.

Dolly Parton directly addressed the speculation in a video message on social media. “Do I look sick to you?” she asserted, working to reassure her concerned supporters.

She combined this reassurance with her characteristic humor, quipping, “I ain’t dead yet!” Parton expressed gratitude for the prayers and concern from her fans.

Earlier this year, Parton had explained she put new music on hold following the death of her husband, Carl Dean. She stated she needed to focus on other matters before returning to creative work.

Her goddaughter, Miley Cyrus, provided an optimistic update, assuring that Dolly was excited to return to work. Cyrus emphasized Parton’s enduring showmanship.

A cheerful Thanksgiving video appearance offered further evidence of her recovery. This public display helped alleviate fears, showing the beloved performer in good spirits and on the mend.
