Dolly Parton’s sister Freida Parton has asked for prayers for the singer while she navigates recent health issues.<\/p>\n

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn\u2019t 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,” Freida Parton wrote on social media<\/a>. “She\u2019s strong, she\u2019s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she\u2019s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you!”<\/p>\n

In September, Caesars Palace announced that Dolly Parton would be postponing her December 2025 concerts<\/a> due to upcoming procedures related to her recent “health challenges.”<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post, Dolly Parton released a statement explaining the reasoning behind the postponement, explaining, “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.”<\/p>\n

Parton has not shared many other details about her health, except to say that doctors had told her she would need to have “a few procedures.”<\/p>\n
