Wednesday, September 23, 2026 - Dolly Parton reportedly travelled to Germany for an experimental cancer treatment about a year before her death following a private battle with the disease.
According to TMZ, sources familiar with the situation said
the country music legend underwent treatment overseas during the final year of
her life.
Parton reportedly travelled by private jet to Frankfurt,
Germany, where she remained for about a week while receiving the treatment
before returning to the United States. The precise nature of the procedure has
not been disclosed. Sources told TMZ that Parton believed the treatment had
been effective and helped her regain some of her strength.
The singer died on August 25 at the age of 80 following what
TMZ described as a private battle with cancer. Although members of Parton’s
inner circle reportedly knew she had been ill, sources said her death still
came as a sudden and unexpected shock to those closest to her.
According to the report, family members and other loved ones
began travelling to Nashville after learning that Parton had been hospitalised
and that her condition had deteriorated. Her family subsequently held a private
funeral ceremony, and she was laid to rest at Woodlawn Memorial Park and
Mausoleum in Nashville.
Parton had largely kept details of her reported illness out
of the public eye. The specific type of cancer she reportedly battled has not
been disclosed, while details about the experimental treatment she is said to
have received in Germany also remain unclear.
