CBS Mornings<\/a>, sister Stella said the Jolene singer opted to keep her cancer battle private, and that even extended to her family.<\/p>\n\u201cShe did not want people sad,\u201d Stella said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe did not want people worried.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019d be really happy and delighted that people have shown her so much love because she knew that that would make us feel better as her family.<\/p>\n
\u201cBottom line, end of the day, her family and (late husband) Carl\u2019s family and probably (best friend) Judy\u2019s family are the people that she would want to say, \u2018See, everything I did, they cared. They really loved me.\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella said only \u201csome\u201d of the family were aware of the diagnosis, mostly those \u201cthat were closer\u201d with the singer.<\/p>\n
\u201cDolly could not bear negative things,\u201d Stella told King.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd she would not have wanted her fans worried about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
So far, only snippets of the interview have been released, with the full recording expected to air on September 10 in the US.<\/p>\n
The teaser comes as a museum dedicated to the country singer and actress, Dolly\u2019s Life of Many Colours Museum, prepares to opens its doors to the public on September 29.<\/p>\n
In a statement from the singer shared on the museum\u2019s Instagram page on Thursday, more information was revealed about the 20,000 square foot site.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s my story, my songs, and the rhinestones and the grindstones that have made up my journey all under one roof,\u201d Dolly Parton said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis museum will be the largest exhibit of my life and career to date filled with the stories, songs and memories that I\u2019ve carried.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt includes all of the things that have helped this little girl\u2019s dreams come true.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More information has come to light about the late Dolly Parton\u2019s battle with cancer.
