In October, 2025, Dolly Parton's sister, Freida, had shared a note on her Facebook page about the singer's health that had worried a lot of fans. Freida had shared that she was praying for Dolly, since her sister "hasn't been feeling the best lately." Before, the singer had also shared with her fans about getting an infection from a kidney stone. Amid these health scares, Miley Cyrus, who shares a close bond with her, shared a health update with Entertainment Tonight while attending the Avatar: Fire and Ash premiere. She said:

Dolly Parton recently talked about 'slowing down' amid health challenges

Amid her many health challenges this year, Dolly Parton also had to postpone her Las Vegas shows. The singer shared with her fans on Instagram that her doctors had told her that she needed to undergo a few procedures. However, Dolly is determined not to quit and shared a list of tour dates for 2026. She also said that God was giving her the indication that it was time to slow down a bit. The singer wrote:

“As many of you know, I’ve been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000 check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon! Don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet. But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you.”

“Dolly is getting better every day. She is at home taking care of herself while many friends and family visit her. In true Dolly spirit, she has already started decorating for the holidays — her favorite time of year.”
