Dolly Parton, the legendary country music icon, has captivated fans with a double announcement following a recent health scare. In a heartwarming update, the 79-year-old took to Instagram to reveal two exciting projects that will keep her fans enthralled for years to come.
First, Dolly announced the release of her highly anticipated autobiographical book, The Star of the Show: My Life on Stage, set for November 11. This will be the third installment in her captivating book series, following Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics and Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones. Fans eagerly await the chance to delve into the star's remarkable life story.
But that's not all! Dolly also shared her plans for 2026, which include the opening of her very own Songteller Hotel and the Life of Many Colors Museum in Nashville. These projects embody her boundless creativity and passion for sharing her unique experiences with the world. The hotel promises an immersive experience, offering a space to disconnect, connect with loved ones, and indulge in entertainment. Meanwhile, the museum will showcase an extensive exhibit celebrating her life, spanning every dynamic decade from the mountains to the world.
Dolly's fans were quick to express their excitement and admiration for the star. One fan gushed, 'The most fabulous woman in the world!!!!!' while another exclaimed, 'Dolly, you're a firecracker!' The enthusiasm was palpable, with fans eager to visit the hotel and museum. The Songteller Hotel is set to open in Nashville during the summer of 2026, with the museum occupying the third floor. This announcement comes as a relief after Dolly's younger sister, Freida, sparked concern by asking fans to pray for the singer during a social media post.
Dolly addressed the health scare in an Instagram video, clarifying that she was dealing with minor health issues, such as kidney stones, which led to her canceling her highly anticipated Vegas residency. She assured fans that she was not dying and expressed her gratitude for their prayers and support. Her dedication to her husband, Carl Dean, during his illness and subsequent neglect of her own health added a layer of depth to her story, showcasing her resilience and unwavering spirit.
