Dolly Parton’s sister has shed some insight into the singer’s final months, stating that she offered to use experimental drugs to help others with cancer if there was “no hope” for her.
The country music icon, known for timeless hits “9 to 5” and “Jolene”, died, aged 80, after a “brief battle” with an undisclosed form of cancer – and days after the announcement on Tuesday (25 August), Stella Parton shared a touching tribute, telling the singer’s fans: “If anyone gets to heaven, I’m sure she made it right on time.”
