Freida Parton made her first post on Facebook asking for “prayer warriors” to lift up her sister just before noon Oct. 7.
Hours later, Freida Parton made the second post assuaging fears.
“She’s been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer,” she said. “It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference.”
Is Dolly Parton sick?
Dolly Parton, 79, announced her own health struggles on Sept. 28, postponing some upcoming performance dates in Las Vegas.
“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,” Dolly Parton wrote in a social media post.
Dolly Parton alluded to needing some procedures, but didn’t specify how many or what those procedures were in her post. She did say she wasn’t stepping away from her business obligations.
“I just need a little time to get show ready, as they say. And don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet,” she said.
