Dolly Parton’s sister asks for prayers as country legend deals with health challenges

Posting to Facebook, Freida Parton asked for prayer, saying `Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly`, on October 7.
After doctors advised procedures, Parton delayed her Las Vegas run at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace due to a kidney stone and related infection.
Parton told fans she wants to be back to 100% before performing, delaying shows to rehearse and deliver the performance they paid for while joking about her 100,000-mile check-up.
After widespread reaction, Freida Parton clarified she did not intend to alarm anyone, framing the message as a sister asking for prayers while fans and followers flooded social media.
Originally set for December, the residency was moved to September 2026, and Parton, whose career covers more than 50 years, stressed she is not quitting and plans to return after recovery.
