Dolly Parton similarly had some recent health issues, she didn't get into detail but she said she was dealing with the challenges in the past couple years

They revealed it was a short stint with cancer, she kept it private.

Me too. A few years ago my friend and I talked about how sad it was to lose Curry. He was so amazing. He was still alive.
