Fans were understandably anxious after Dolly faced a kidney stone infection last month and had to cancel six upcoming performances in Las Vegas, originally scheduled for December.
Freidaâs post was met with a torrent of prayers, and she later apologized for any alarm it may have caused, clarifying that it was never her aim to frighten anyone. Nonetheless, Dolly encouraged her fans to keep her in their prayers in a recent video.
The takeaway from Dolly is clear: “I ain’t ready to die yet.”
