Dolly Parton faces severe setback after husband’s recent death



Dolly Parton reveals ‘worrying’ reason for missing scheduled performance

Dolly Parton might have worried herself sick over the grief of her husband, Carl Dean’s death, as she is herself suffering from health concerns.

The 79-year-old songstress cancelled her performance at Dollywood, Tennessee, because of a serious reason that she revealed later.

The Jolene hitmaker recorded a video message for fans, which was shared on X by journalist Marcus Leshock, saying, “I know, I’m here and you’re there and wondering why that is.”

Parton continued, “I had a little problem. I had a kidney stone.”

She further added, “Turns out there was an infection, and the doctor said, ‘You don’t need to be traveling around this minute, so you need a few days to get better,’ So he suggested I not go to Dollywood today.”

The health battle surfaced after the county star’s husband passed away in March.
