Dolly Parton, 80, Spent Her Final Days Out of the Public Eye — and a Source Close to Her Family Has Now Revealed Why

Parton's 'Clipped My Wings' Joke Came With a Visual Twist

 

Parton appeared on the large screen framed by oversized fairy wings in pink, purple and blue, making her doctor's "clipped my wings" remark literal.

The 80-year-old wore her blond hair teased high, with dark eye makeup, pink lipstick and sparkling drop earrings. Her pale pink top had a plunging neckline bordered with rows of glittering embellishments.

The elaborate look brought Parton's familiar sense of humor to an appearance prompted by a more serious issue. Some viewers responded to that underlying concern instead.

On Instagram, one netizen said, "Im officially worried." Another user shared, "What's wrong with Dolly."
