"The beloved pop culture icon also explained that the death of her husband, Carl Dean, in March took a toll on her health. What would Dolly do? Take it upon herself to address recent concerns over her health. Beloved country music star and pop culture icon Dolly Parton opened up about her health on Wednesday, reassuring fans in a video shared to social media that she's in better health than some might think."
"The 79-year-old "9 to 5" star sparked concern in recent weeks after pulling out of scheduled appearances and performances. In late September, she missed an event at her Dollywood amusement park due to kidney stones. More than a week after that absence, she called off numerous upcoming concerts in Las Vegas to address her health. She announced she would delay six concerts at Caesars Palace scheduled for December, but did not share additional information about her condition at the time."
""When he passed, I didn't take care of myself, so I let a lot of things go that should've been taken care of," she continued. "So anyway, when I got around to it, the doctor said, 'We need to take care of this, we need to take care of that.'" She reassured fans that there was "nothing major" to worry about, but said she "had to cancel some things to be closer to home.""
Dolly Parton reassures fans that she is OK and working despite recent health concerns. The 79-year-old missed appearances after developing kidney stones and canceled multiple December concerts at Caesars Palace to focus on recovery. The death of her husband, Carl Dean, in March contributed to neglected self-care, which led doctors to recommend addressing several health issues. Parton said nothing major is wrong but that she needs to stay closer to home and near Vanderbilt University for ongoing treatment. She filmed a brief video between commercial shoots for the Grand Ole Opry to provide the update.
