Dolly Parton’s sister calls on fans to pray for Dolly, later apologizes

After originally freaking out some fans on Facebook Tuesday, Freida Parton later apologized. “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. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference.”

Thank sweet baby Jesus! That was a scary few hours for a lot of fans!

Originally, Dolly Parton’s sister Freida had fans on edge after revealing that she was, “Up all night praying for my sister, Dolly.”

“Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been led to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you!”

Fans have been flooding the comments with prayers and well-wishes for Dolly. She means so much to so many people.

This comes a little over a week from when Dolly postponed her Las Vegas residency because she said she was dealing with “health challenges.” Everyone is hoping Dolly gets the rest she needs and comes back stronger than ever.
