Dolly Parton’s sister Freida Parton has moved to clarify matters having caused a scare after revealing she was “up all night praying” for the country icon’s recovery.
With Parton being the national icon she is, it’s hardly a surprise that her legion of fans interpreted the update as being a possible precursor to more morbid news. Dolly, readers will remember, has endured a host of health issues of late, forcing her to cancel a number of shows.
Freida Parton took to Facebook on Tuesday with a heartfelt message that revealed just how worried she’s been.
“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly,” Freida wrote. “Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately.”
