Is Dolly Parton OK? Rare Dollywood absence worries singer's fans; ‘I feel dizzy’

Dolly Parton's fans were left worried after she skipped the unveiling of a $50 million roller coaster at Dollywood theme park in Tennessee. The typically public singer made a surprise video announcement, citing her doctor's advice to avoid travel due to ongoing health issues. In the video, Parton admitted to feeling dizzy and dehydrated, noting that her doctors had advised her to rest and recover.

Despite her reassurance that "things are good" medically, fans remained concerned about the veteran performer's well-being. Parton had last appeared publicly at Dollywood in March 2026, and since then, she has spoken about various health problems, including kidney stones, which led to the cancellation of her Las Vegas residency.

The absence of the beloved singer from public appearances for nearly one and a half months has sparked numerous worried messages on social media, with fans hoping for her swift recovery and a return to stage and screen.
