Dolly Parton has shared a new health update with fans, confirming she is responding well to medical treatments and improving daily after cancelling concerts last year. The country music legend, who has previously spoken openly about her chronic kidney stones, posted a video on social media Monday to reassure supporters.
Humor-Filled Message
In her characteristic light-hearted style, Parton joked that the medications make her “swimmy-headed,” preventing her from performing in her signature high heels and elaborate outfits. She likened herself to an “old classic car” needing significant repairs, detailing issues with her “engine,” “transmission,” and “spark plugs.”
Health Struggles
Parton clarified that her immune and digestive systems have been “out of whack” for the past couple of years, in addition to her ongoing battle with chronic kidney stones. Despite these challenges, she expressed optimism about her recovery and gratitude for fans’ support.
The singer concluded by thanking her followers for their patience and love, promising to return to the stage as soon as she is able.
