Dolly Parton sister 'up all night praying' as singer faces health challenges

Dolly Parton’s sister says she has been “up all night praying” for the singer as she faces ongoing health challenges.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Freida Parton rallied fans to pray for her older sibling and wrote: “Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately.

“I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.”

She continued, “She’s strong, she’s loved, and 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!”

Earlier this month, the country legend postponed her upcoming sold-out concerts in Las Vegas over “health challenges”.

Dolly told fans on social media that medical procedures would leave her unable to rehearse and prepare for the six shows, which were due to take place from December 4 to December 13.

She wrote: “I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts.

“As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures.

“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!”

The performances of “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas” at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace would have marked her first extended run of shows in 32 years.

Rescheduled dates have already been announced, with performances set for September 2026. Tickets are valid for the new dates and refunds have been offered.
