DOLLY'S HEALTH SPARKS PARTON FAMILY FEUD

Sister's call for prayers gets kin in a twist

- 

AILING Dolly Parton is caught in the crossfire of a blistering family battle caused by the country icon’s sister Freida issuing a dramatic call for prayers for the 79-year-old star, sparking fears that the conflict could send the widowed singer spiraling, insiders say.

Freida, 68, asked on social media for the public to pray with her for Dolly, who “hasn’t been feeling her best” after the singer postponed her Las Vegas residency for nearly a year and canceled an appearance at her Dollywood theme park in Tennessee because of an infection caused by a kidney stone.

But the next day, Freida addressed Dolly’s shaken fans by saying she “didn’t mean to scare anyone” and backtracked to blather that her sissy was just “a little under the weather.”
