Growing up in a family of 12 siblings, a little rivalry is inevitable, especially when your sister happens to be one of the world’s biggest music stars. The intriguing family dynamic in Dolly Parton’s clan was thrown into the limelight this week after her sister Freida sent the public into alarming panic by saying she was “praying for Dolly” after the country music star cancelled her Vegas residency, prompting fears that she was in worse shape than fans thought. Parton’s manager, Olly Rowland, has since confirmed that Dolly is suffering from kidney stones and explained that Freida’s statement had blown things out of proportion. Freida has since apologized, saying she didn’t mean to make it sound so serious.
