Dolly Parton is gearing up to come back with a bang.
Following recent health issues with the country music star, her goddaughter Miley Cyrus shared that she expects to get back to her normal routine soon.
Miley recently told Entertainment Tonight that her mother is determined to continue working. She explained, ‘The show must go on,’ and expressed her mother’s enthusiasm about returning to work.
Dolly, age 79, has been prioritizing her health lately. She had to cancel an appearance at her Dollywood theme park in September because of a kidney stone issue, and instead sent a pre-recorded message.
Oh my gosh, she actually said it! In the video, she explained she got an infection, and the doctor basically told her she couldn’t travel right then! He said she needed to rest and get better for a few days. I was SO worried, but relieved to hear it wasn’t anything super serious, and that she was listening to the doctor. It just proves she cares about her fans and wants to be at her best when she sees us!
The singer, known for her hit “9 to 5,” missed several events in the following weeks and rescheduled her Las Vegas concerts from December 2025 to September 2026.
In a September Instagram post, she explained that she wouldn’t be able to fully prepare the show she envisioned, or the one her audience deserved. She wants to deliver the best possible performance for her fans, who she acknowledges are paying to see her show.
Even though Dolly has been dealing with health issues, she’s remained positive. She recently shared a cheerful Thanksgiving video message with her fans to celebrate the holiday.
In a video posted to Instagram on November 27th, she expressed her gratitude for everyone and cherished the memories they’ve made together. She wished everyone a happy Thanksgiving and shared her lasting love for them.
Similar to Dolly, numerous celebrities have openly discussed their health challenges. Read on to discover what other stars have shared about their well-being.
Nikki Bella, known from Total Bellas, shared that one of her breast implants moved after being hit in the chest during a wrestling match with Piper Niven in July 2025.
She reassured her sister, Bella Garcia, saying they would get the issue resolved eventually. She explained to the doctor that as soon as she finished her current commitment, she’d return to address the problem and ensure everything looked its best, because she planned to use them again and they couldn’t appear in their current condition.
I was so saddened to learn that Lupita Nyong’o was diagnosed with uterine fibroids back in 2014. These are non-cancerous growths that can develop in or around the uterus. It’s incredible to me that she received that diagnosis the very same year she won her Oscar – what strength and grace she showed then, and continues to show now!
I was absolutely devastated when she finally shared what she’d been going through. For over ten years, she’d been battling this in secret, suffering in silence as she put it on Instagram in 2025. It broke my heart to learn she’d been carrying this burden for so long, but I was also so incredibly proud of her for finally speaking out.
She explained that many girls are taught to accept period pain as a normal part of being a woman. This often leaves them dealing with a common issue in silence and feeling isolated.
In July 2025, the actress from Daisy Jones & The Six revealed she was hospitalized for a hernia. This happened because she’d been wearing pants that were too tight, which caused a gap to form in her abdominal muscles.
Someone messaged Suki on X (formerly Twitter) asking why she hadn’t tweeted in a while. Suki jokingly replied, explaining she’d been hiding a serious injury – a hernia caused by wearing extremely tight pants six months ago – out of embarrassment.
In April 2025, the former star of Beverly Hills, 90210 shared that he was recovering from surgery to fix a nearly ruptured appendix.
Brian shared in an Instagram video that he recently experienced stomach pain which led him to the emergency room. He explained that his appendix had a hole in it – it hadn’t fully burst, but was very close to doing so.
He added, “I’m on the road to recovery. It’s not an easy process. This is my first major surgery.”
A Racing Louisville midfielder fell to the ground shortly after the start of her team’s game against Seattle Reign on September 14th at Lumen Field in Seattle.
According to Reuters, the U.S. Women’s National Team player was seen slowly sitting down on the field with a teammate supporting her, just before she collapsed. Trainers were immediately called to assess her condition.
After receiving initial medical attention on the field, Savannah was taken to a nearby hospital for more tests, the National Women’s Soccer League reported. They stated she is currently in stable condition and fully conscious.
Adam Devine revealed that injuries from being hit by a cement truck at age 11 continue to cause him problems now.
“It’s been a really difficult time,” Devine shared on the In Depth With Graham Bensinger podcast in 2025. “I’ve been experiencing spasms all over my body, and doctors actually told me, recently—within the last year—that my condition was life-threatening.”
He explained that his pain is intermittent, saying, “My body has a few quirks and isn’t quite working as it should.”
A former contestant on The Bachelor had to be hospitalized after experiencing severe back pain. He described having to crawl to get help, and said the pain worsened during a recent road trip with a friend.
He described a strange tingling sensation that reached his knees, even as of a podcast recording in March 2025. He explained that just a few weeks prior, he’d been squatting nearly 300 pounds, but now he couldn’t even manage a single squat or stand on one leg without falling. He said it felt as though he’d had a stroke.
But with the help of a back specialist and some steroids, he added, “We’re on the mend.”
Gina Kirschenheiter, from The Real Housewives of Orange County, revealed that her ex-husband, Matt Kirschenheiter, had a heart attack in March 2025, but he is recovering well.
In March 2025, the actor from 30 Rock experienced a medical issue at a New York Knicks game and had to be taken out of Madison Square Garden in a wheelchair.
The comedian later posted on social media to explain that he hadn’t been feeling well due to food poisoning, but he was starting to recover.
In February 2025, the former Even Stevens star revealed she was shot in the face during a birthday outing with her husband, Brendan Rooney. They were on a trip to go clay pigeon shooting when the incident occurred.
In an Instagram post, she explained that she was accidentally shot in the face by someone at a party who fired a gun unsafely. Brendan Rooney quickly helped her, evaluated her injuries, and drove her to the hospital. She was hit five times, and one bullet came dangerously close to her right eye – less than an inch away.
The Kim Possible actor explained that a small piece of something got stuck behind their eye. Doctors have advised against removing it with surgery right now, and they’ll be closely watching to see if anything changes. Thankfully, their vision is currently normal.
The actress expressed immense gratitude for surviving. She shared how much she loves her daughters, husband, family, and friends, and emphasized the preciousness of life. “I really saw how quickly things can change,” she said, urging everyone to cherish their loved ones and hug them whenever possible.
Amy Schumer is grateful for the internet, despite its downsides, because it helped her discover a health issue. After noticing she looked “puffier,” Schumer was surprised to see doctors commenting on her appearance online. They suggested she might have Cushing syndrome, possibly caused by steroid injections she’d received after a breast reduction and C-section. This prompted her to realize the injections could be the cause. She later learned she had a form of Cushing syndrome that would resolve on its own, and she’s relieved to be healthy. As she shared, receiving this diagnosis was ‘the greatest news imaginable.’
During a December 2024 game, an AHL player was accidentally cut in the face by another player’s skate, requiring 25 stitches.

In March 2022, Hailey Bieber experienced a frightening health scare while having breakfast with her husband, Justin Bieber. She suddenly started having stroke-like symptoms, unable to speak and experiencing drooping on the right side of her face. Although these symptoms eventually subsided, she went to the hospital for testing. Doctors discovered she had a small blood clot in her brain, which they identified as a TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack). Further investigation at UCLA revealed Hailey had a hole in her heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO). This hole allowed the blood clot to travel to her brain, causing the TIA. Hailey has since undergone a successful procedure to close the PFO and is now recovering well.
Oh my gosh, 2022 was just… a lot. It wasn’t just Hailey going through something scary, Justin had his own health battle right around the same time! He revealed he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, and it was terrifying to see. He posted a video explaining how it caused paralysis on one side of his face – he literally couldn’t blink, smile, or even move his nostril! He said it even made it hard to eat, which broke my heart. I was so worried about him! Thankfully, after a while, the paralysis started to go away. Hailey said he was doing really well and feeling much better, and honestly, that was such a relief. It was a scary, random thing to happen, but she was so grateful he was going to be okay, and so was I! I just want them both to be healthy and happy.
Jamie Foxx recently shared details about the serious health scare he experienced in April 2023, which he had initially kept private. In his 2024 Netflix special, What Had Happened Was…, he explained that he suffered a severe headache one day while in Atlanta. Before he could even take an aspirin, he lost consciousness and doesn’t remember the next 20 days.
Initially, a doctor gave him a cortisone shot and sent him home, but his sister, Deidra Dixon, became worried and took him to the hospital. There, doctors discovered he had a brain bleed that caused a stroke.
After surgery, Jamie woke up in a wheelchair on May 4th, unable to walk. He then traveled to Chicago for extensive rehabilitation and therapy. He expressed deep gratitude for the prayers he received, saying he needed every single one.
The reality TV star said she briefly stopped breathing while running a mile during the first challenge on the NBC show.
She shared on the show Fit for TV: The Reality of The Biggest Loser that her memory of the event was fragmented. She recalled hearing a helicopter, feeling like she was floating, and then seeing her grandfather. After that, everything went dark, but she then experienced a bright light, leading her to realize she had died that day.
She explained that her organs were failing. She hadn’t known she had rhabdomyolysis, a condition where the body essentially begins to shut down.
Emilia Clarke, known for her role in Game of Thrones, revealed a harrowing health battle in a 2019 essay for The New Yorker. While filming the show, she experienced a severe headache at the gym, followed by intense pain and vomiting. She quickly realized something was seriously wrong with her brain.
A hospital scan revealed she had suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage – a life-threatening stroke caused by bleeding around the brain – due to a ruptured aneurysm. She underwent immediate surgery, which she described as incredibly painful. During her recovery, she temporarily lost her ability to speak, often muttering nonsensical phrases.
Though she left the hospital after a month, a 2013 scan revealed the aneurysm had grown, requiring a second surgery. This procedure initially failed, causing a major bleed and putting her life at risk. Doctors had to perform a more invasive surgery, accessing her brain directly through her skull.
Fortunately, Emilia Clarke is now fully recovered and says she is “at a hundred per cent.”
Cori Broadus, Snoop Dogg’s daughter, credits her family with helping her through a difficult time. In January 2024, she suffered a stroke and immediately reached out to her loved ones, who quickly came to her support. She told TopMob News that they “just came to my rescue.”
Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than expected due to additional health issues. She explained that while she could have gone home after the stroke, she was also battling lupus and kidney problems.
Fortunately, Cori is now recovering well. “I’m doing great,” she said, adding that she’s been working to regain some motor skills, but is otherwise doing fine.
Shailene Woodley struggled with significant health issues throughout her early twenties. In a September 2024 podcast interview, she revealed she experienced hearing loss, extreme fatigue – unable to walk for more than five minutes without needing to rest for hours – and persistent stomach pain. Doctors offered various diagnoses, leaving her feeling confused.
Determined to find answers, Woodley, who has a background in herbalism, combined traditional medical care with alternative healing methods. This search for well-being lasted a decade.
The physical discomfort led to deeper issues. She developed a fear of food due to the stomach pain, which then contributed to body image concerns and questions about her identity and sense of self.
Ultimately, Woodley’s health improved. “It was a journey that physically resolved itself, and I am very healthy,” she shared, expressing her happiness to be feeling well again.
