Dolly Parton, the beloved country singer and songwriter, has sparked fear all around with her decision not to slow down.
For those not in the know, the singer is said to be dealing with what an official statement is calling “just kidney stones” after her sister Freida caused many to worry over her Facebook post about needing ‘prayers’.
But right now, an insider claims there’s another reason her loved ones are scared.
The reason is “Dolly doesn’t know the meaning of sitting still, she’s doing her best, but it drives her completely sober to be tied to the bed or mope around the house and not go full tilt,” they claimed. Heat World.
While “it’s understandable to some extent because her hard-wiring means being a workaholic is second nature,” the insider said, “but the concern is that she’s again pushing herself without getting enough rest.”
So “unless she learns to pace herself, put her phone down and shut down properly, her relentlessness could eventually lead to a major problem for her health,” they concluded.
Freida Parton’s statement:
She said: “Last night I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling well lately. I really believe in the power of prayer and I’ve been led to ask the whole world who loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.”
Just after that post went viral, Freida released a clarification saying, “I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when she asked for prayers for Dolly. She’s been in a bit of trouble and I was simply asking for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer… Thank you all for lifting her up.”
Dolly Parton’s statement:
The star revealed that she “has been dealing with some health challenges and my doctors are telling me that I need to have a few procedures”.
But no details have been given yet, the singer only lightly touched on the details when she said, “as I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000 mile check, even if it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!”
But “in all seriousness,” she said, “given this, I won’t be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see and the show that you deserve to see. You’re paying good money to see me perform and I want to be the best I can be for you… I just need a little time to get ready for the show, as they say.
“And don’t worry about me stopping the business, because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet. But I think He’s telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more great adventures with all of you. I love you and thank you for understanding.”
