Dolly Parton Eager to Return to Work After Recent Health Scare, Says Miley Cyrus

NASHVILLE, TN – Country music icon Dolly Parton is looking forward to getting back to work after a period of health challenges that forced her to cancel several public appearances, according to her goddaughter, singer Miley Cyrus.

Cyrus told Entertainment Tonight on Monday that the 78-year-old legend is in good spirits and determined to continue working. “She’s always going to keep the show going. The show must go on. So she’s just excited to get back to work,” Cyrus said.

Parton’s health became a concern last month when she withdrew from scheduled events, including her induction into the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Hall of Fame. In a social media post, Parton explained that doctors advised her to rest.

“I sure wish I could be with you in person today, but you probably heard that I’ve been dealing with a few health challenges this fall, and my doctors told me to take it easy for just a little while,” she stated.

Parton revealed in October that her health issues were partly due to neglecting her own well-being while caring for her late husband, Carl Dean, who passed away in March. She clarified that her condition was not life-threatening and that she was receiving treatment at Vanderbilt Medical Center.

“Nothing major, but I did have to cancel some things so I could be closer to home, closer to Vanderbilt, where I’m kind of having a few treatments here and there, but I wanted you to know that I’m not dying,” Parton assured fans. She added, “I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me and I ain’t done working. So I love you for caring and keep praying for me.”

While no specific date for her return has been announced, Cyrus’s statement suggests that Parton is actively recovering and eager to resume her career.
