Dolly Parton kept cancer battle private from family because she ‘did not want people sad’, sister Stella Parton reveals; says she’d be ‘happy and delighted’ by public grief

Dolly, who died last month at the age of 80 following a brief battle with cancer, reportedly chose to keep her health struggles away from the public eye.
