Dolly Parton\u2019s sister Freida Parton has moved to clarify matters having caused a scare after revealing she was \u201cup all night praying\u201d for the country icon\u2019s recovery.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With Parton being the national icon she is, it\u2019s 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.
\nFreida Parton took to Facebook on Tuesday with a heartfelt message that revealed just how worried she\u2019s been.
\n\u201cLast night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly,\u201d Freida wrote. \u201cMany of you know she hasn\u2019t been feeling her best lately.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Freida didn\u2019t go into details about Dolly\u2019s condition, her post came just a week after the beloved 79-year-old singer postponed her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency due to medical issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts,\u201d Dolly explained in an Instagram post. \u201cAs many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
