Dolly Parton Makes Rare Public Appearance at 80, Shares Health Update
Dolly Parton made her first public appearance in months, speaking out during a presentation at her Tennessee theme park, Dollywood. The 80-year-old music icon told the crowd she’s ‘taking good care’ of health issues that popped up in 2025, including kidney stones. Dolly blames the turn in her health on grief, after the death of her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, last March.
