Country music legend Dolly Parton has fans worried after her sister, Freida Parton, took to Facebook with a heartfelt plea for prayers — revealing that the beloved 79-year-old icon “ain’t doing too good.”

The emotional post came shortly after Dolly canceled six shows from her planned Las Vegas residency due to health issues.
Freida, visibly concerned but full of faith, shared that she had been up all night praying for her sister’s recovery. In her message, she described Dolly as “strong, deeply loved, and surrounded by people who believe in her,” urging fans across the world to become “prayer warriors” for the country legend.
“Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you!” Freida wrote — alongside a touching photo of Dolly in prayer that quickly went viral among fans.
Within hours, her post was flooded with prayers, love, and messages of support from around the world. Fans were quick to rally behind the country superstar, sending thousands of heartfelt comments and well-wishes.

Freida Clarifies Her Message
Later on October 7, Freida shared another post to clarify her previous comments, wanting to ease fans’ concerns. She wrote:
“I want to clear something up. I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She’s been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister.”
Freida ended her message with a heartfelt note of gratitude:
“Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference.”
