Dolly Parton’s sister has asked fans to pray for the American country singer, who last week postponed a forthcoming Las Vegas residency due to unspecified health issues.<\/p>\n
The 79-year-old country music legend has delayed the December concerts, telling fans she needs “a few procedures” to deal with ongoing “health challenges”.<\/p>\n
“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly,” Freida Parton wrote on Facebook. “Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately.<\/p>\n
“I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Freida ended her message on an upbeat note.<\/p>\n
“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,” she wrote.<\/p>\n
“Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you!”<\/p>\n
Parton had been scheduled to perform six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December.<\/p>\n
But she postponed the gigs until September next year<\/a>, explaining she wouldn’t have enough time to rehearse for them.<\/p>\n Parton did not disclose the nature of her health issues, but she was recently forced to pull out of a Dollywood event after being diagnosed with a kidney stone that she said was causing “a lot of problems”.<\/p>\n
