“I had a kidney stone that was causing me a lot of problems, turned out it’d given me an infection,” she continued, “and the doctor said, ‘You don’t need to be traveling right this minute, so you need a few days to get better.’”
“So, he suggested I not go to Dollywood today, but I’m there with you in spirit,” Dolly added. “I was looking so forward to it.”
The new Night Flight Expedition will be coming to Dollywood next year.
“What happens in the Smoky Mountains after the sun goes down? Soar, plunge, climb and navigate the first ride of its kind in the world,” the theme park teased on Instagram.
Over the summer, Dolly explained why she’s putting new music “on hold.”
We wish Dolly Parton a speedy recovery!
