Dolly Parton hid cancer battle not just from fans but also from "a lot family," her sister Stella reveals: "She did not want people sad." “Dolly did not want anybody to tell that because Dolly could not bear negative things. She would not have wanted her fans worried about it… She didn’t want a lot of the family worried about it. Some of us knew, the ones that were closer, but not every relative. She did not want people sad. She’d be really happy and delighted that people have shown her so much love [after her death] because she knew that that would make us feel better as her family. Bottom line, end of the day, her family and Carl’s family and probably Judy’s family are the people that she would want to say, ‘See, everything I did, they cared. They really loved me.’” (via CBS Mornings) variety.com/2026/music/news/…
