Dolly Parton has been forced to cancel a scheduled appearance at Dollywood on Wednesday after her doctor advised her not to travel due to kidney stones.

Instead, the 79-year-old country music legend apologized for missing the opening of one of the park’s new attractions via a pre-recorded video.

“I know. You may be wondering why you’re here and wondering why you’re there. I did, however, have a small issue. In the video shared on X, Dolly claimed that she had a kidney stone that was giving her a lot of problems.

As she addressed her disappointed fans, she explained that an infection has given her medical advice. The doctor informed the patient that there was an infection and that you don’t need to travel this minute. You need to recuperate for a while. He therefore advised me against visiting Dollywood today. I want to make it clear that I was anticipating everything.

She continued, letting her adoring fans know that everything will turn out fine. I’m just unable to continue today.

Dolly’s music legend’s year has seen a significant personal loss, and the cancellation and health issues come with it. She lost Carl Dean, her devoted husband of 58 years, in March.

Since their 1964 encounter outside a laundromat in Nashville, the pair had been living together. They tied the knot in Georgia two years later.

Dolly characterized their relationship as having a profound impact: “Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words cannot adequately express the love we have shared for more than 60 years. I appreciate your sincere and compassionate words.

She also detested her brother David earlier this year, which added to the grief caused by the loss of three more siblings over time. Dolly has made it clear how much her ability to work has been affected by these personal tragedies.

Speaking with Khloe Kardashian, she reflected on how grief has temporarily slowed her creative projects: “There’s a few things now.

When you ask me if there are things I started but haven’t finished, I have several things I’ve wanted to start, but I can’t do it because my husband passed away three months ago. I’m just coming up with some wonderful, lovely ideas, but I don’t want to finish them.

Despite these setbacks, Dolly continues to be committed to her music and creative endeavors despite the slowdown in progress. There are situations like that that temporarily stall you. However, if it comes, I’ll write something else. She said, “I’m just putting that all on hold.”

Jamie Oliver says he’s ‘conceptually thick’ as he opens up on restaurant failure

Jamie Oliver, a television chef, has openly discussed his failures following the demise of his restaurant empire and offered advice on how to recover.

This week, Jamie joins Jamie for a conversation on Davina’s Begin Again podcast.

Jamie Oliver says his restaurant empire went bankrupt because he didn’t get the basics right and was “conceptually thick”. The TV chef and healthy food campaigner once ran dozens of UK restaurants with other eateries around the world. His TV series also played out globally and it looked like nothing could go wrong.

However, a severe financial crisis in 2019 caused the group of Jamie Oliver’s UK restaurants, including Jamie’s Italian and Barbecoa, to close 22 of his 25 UK restaurants.

Speaking about the highs and lows of his career in a new podcast interview with Davina McCall, 50-year-old Jamie, who is dyslexic, said: “There’s a certain degree of life’s a bit of a numbers game and you gotta have a go otherwise you never know, and I think failure comes in various forms and shapes, but it’s an incredible educator.

Failure can be understood as having a variety of meanings for different people. I mean, you could have suffered a burn or a cut, or you could have lost something you’ve spent all of your savings on. You might be letting down someone you love.

“I also believe that failure can be very painful, and that the idea of pain can become more prevalent as you age because it is always perceived as a negative thing, but in reality, pain is a remarkable gift as a whole.” If you didn’t have that, you would have been dead thirty years ago when you hit your foot, splinter, or get burn. Therefore, I believe it to be a genuine gift.

Although I’m trying to protect myself and perhaps being philosophical, I believe that suffering and failure are all a part of how your peripheral vision and senses are really shaped. And I believe that whatever you’re trying to accomplish might not have been successful because you made the right choice; in some cases, it’s because I’ve failed because I’ve tried too hard and people weren’t prepared. Sometimes I’ve had too late for me to succeed.

Because I spent my entire life refusing to accept responsibility for math and numbers, which goes back to school, I know I was in the worst group for maths because I didn’t pass math at school, I sometimes have failed and I get all the hard bits right. I also got the basics wrong.

Conceptually speaking, I’m thick within that. When it comes to math, I have a negative outlook on myself. So when I lost my restaurants, you know, all the hard work we did, all the work that most people struggled to get right, we did it right, we were really good at the hard stuff, and it was really the basics.

In 2000, Jamie and Jools married, and they have five children, with their son Buddy, a self-taught chef. Jamie praised his “Fifteen” project, which for a number of years taught young unemployed people how to cook, calling it “the best thing I’ve ever done.”

He continued, “She’s quite in the background and she’s done that on purpose,” talking about his partner Jools, who has kept the family together throughout Jamie’s decades of campaigns and business ventures. She is without a doubt the star. She is incredibly kind, kind, and funny, and has incredible instinct.

“I adore her to pieces. She gives us the way we are, and I’m very grateful for Jools’ incredible parenting.

Prince could have ‘1000 unreleased songs’ hidden away in The Vault

Musician Prince was known for recording new songs quickly and enjoyed going into the studio.

Iconic musician Prince still has hundreds of unheard songs and unreleased albums that could one day be heard by fans, according to a new book.

Only a select few people had the combination code to unlock the vast storage room, according to author John McKie, and there is so much to come from Prince’s back catalogue, which was famously hidden away in a location known as “The Vault.”

Musician and songwriter Prince died in 2016 with a host of hits including 1999, Purple Rain, When Doves Cry and Little Red Corvette. But there could be many more still hidden away in his hometown of Minneapolis.

Morris Hayes, who worked with Prince for 20 years, told Morris that there is something superior to Purple Rain in this film. Prince claimed it was “for his kids” but he didn’t even have children, but Morris said “you have to put this stuff out.” Prince’s thoughts are not always simple to understand.

There are still some lingering ambiguities around Prince, which is kind of cool. “I spent five and a half years speaking to 200 people who were close to him. It includes some legalism.

Prince released about 40 studio albums, but [The Vault] is probably only going to have 100 of them unreleased, excluding live performances. Because he recorded a lot, there are probably 1000 songs of unreleased material in the vault. Some of it would be great to be released. Some of that stuff, in my opinion, should have been visible and not just lying in the closet.

The book also discusses Prince’s early career rivalry with Michael Jackson and how a performance with the Rolling Stones helped him succeed. Prince served as the Stones’ supporting act at the 1981 LA Coliseum.

However, Prince’s audience, which included some Hell’s Angels, was offended by his outrageous routine, and he ended up receiving thrown in shoes, chicken wings, bottles of whiskey, and even cups of urine.

Andrew Watt, a musician, claims that he first heard about the legendary incident and that it made Prince’s albums bigger and louder. In the book, Watt claims that “He got beer thrown at him.” His heart is broken.

He says, “They hate me! They hate me!” to Mick Jagger backstage. Mick advised him that a rock band is required if you want to play in front of a crowd this large. You must make a loud noise. The drums are louder than the earlier albums if you listen to the drum sound. A bigger sound is present.

Donnie Graves, Prince’s accountant, is in favor. Prince “was driven to a place where he might not have gone before because of the Coliseum gig,” he claimed. That’s how self-aware the man was, and how angry he was. Without that level of humiliation, I don’t believe he would have reached the level he did.

Prince followed up his 1982 and 1999 albums with a double album, which made him a global star.

On September 18, Bonnier Books published Prince: A Sign o’ the Times by John McKie.

Radio star Colm Hayes announces sad death of ‘beautiful’ wife after cancer diagnosis

After the radio host’s wife had been fighting cancer for six years, Anne Laird-Caffrey passed away peacefully on Tuesday in St. Vincent’s Private Hospital surrounded by her family.

Radio star devastated as he announces the passing of his “beautiful” wife to cancer.

Irish radio host Colm Hayes revealed the tragic passing of his “beautiful” wife Anne Laird-Caffrey. At St. Vincent’s Private Hospital, Anne passed away peacefully on Tuesday, surrounded by her loved ones. The Blackrock native had battled cancer for six years without valiantly.

In a heartfelt tribute to his wife on Instagram on Wednesday, the Classic Hits presenter said: “My beautiful wife Anne passed yesterday morning after living with cancer for 6 years. She was an amazing, brave woman who lived life to the very end. Her smile will never be forgotten.”

Our dear wife, mother, sister, aunt, and friend, Anne Laird-Caffrey, passed away with “deep sadness,” according to Anne’s death notice.

All those who knew and loved Anne will remember her extraordinary kindness and warmth as the glue that unites us all. She is predeceased by her mother, Margaret O’Neill, and her loving family includes Paul, Mark, Trish, Martin, Therese, Steven, and Tara, as well as her father Sylvester, husband, Colm, daughter Holly, and son Alex and his fiancé Laura.

Her uncle, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, extended family, and close circle of friends all feel deeply for her loss.

Our lovely Anne will be laid to rest on September 19th, from 5 to 7pm at Massey Bros. Funeral Home in Newtown Park. On Saturday, September 20, at 10am, her funeral service will be held at the Victorian Chapel at Mount Jerome Crematorium.

Lucy Kennedy, a co-host of Mr. Hayes’ Classic Hits, was one of the first to condolence Ms. Laird-Caffrey’s passing. Haysey, I adore you and am here for you whenever you need me. X. “

After Anne was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, Colm revealed that his “most treasured possession” had faltered. We’ve never discussed this publicly, but my wife will soon discuss it on a podcast because she was diagnosed with stage four metastatic breast cancer, the contestant for the 40 Day Health Challenge said in January.

“So we never have a party where the balloons are blue, we lift them, and they all lift up in the air before returning home.” Anne currently receives third-level chemotherapy. She has three weeks of chemotherapy every Monday before taking a Monday off over the course of the next five years.

It’s obviously enormous. I’m not sure how that woman continues. I can’t recall the AIB commercial “If Brave Is,” where a woman opens the coffee shop at eight in the morning and a man milking his cows, where I used to say, “If Brave Is, it’s Anne.”

He continued, “I believe that your life completely changes and changes as a result.” You believe that your future will change as your priorities change. We must be cautious because we discuss whether or not cancer can cause us to live or die.

“That’s really important, and I’m aware of how many people work in that field, but that’s where you’re at.

“I don’t think I could have imagined that over the past few years, I was dealing with it really well and people would say, “You seem to be dealing with it really, really well and you’re really positive with Anne,” I think. Really not inside.

People living with cancer and their loved ones can receive private support from The Macmillan Support Line. If you need to talk, call us on 0808 808 0000.

Katie Price’s boyfriend JJ Slater spotted spending quality boys time with Harvey

JJ Slater, a married At first sight actor, spent the day looking after Harvey Price, a son of Katie Price, as the former glamour model prepared for her St. Helens Theatre performance.

JJ Slater spent the day looking after Harvey Price and Katie Price’s kittens on Tuesday as the former model focused on her professional commitments during her ongoing tell-all tour with Kerry Katona.

JJ, a Married At First Sight UK star, assisted Harvey, 23, who is blind, autistic, and has septo-optic dysplasia during the event’s appearance, which included a trip to St Helens Theatre.

JJ had to take care of both Harvey and the family’s kittens before Katie, 47, entered the venue. Before the performance began, Katie’s devoted boyfriend, 32, led Harvey inside the theater to make sure he was comfortable and settled.

JJ’s attention to detail was praised by both fans and observers, with some describing him as keeping Harvey entertained and interested while also keeping an eye on the kittens who were brought along for the day.

After that, Harvey danced along to Kerry singing Whole Again while Katie and Kerry were playing on the stage.

In a nod to his long-standing love of amphibians, Katie’s eldest child, who she shares with ex-partner Dwight Yorke, wore a blue top, grey tracksuit bottoms, and a green bucket hat with frog eyes.

The audience erupted to their feet as Harvey danced and moved to the music at the venue while Katie and Kerry held his hands. The crowd-watchers who enjoyed the family-friendly atmosphere enjoyed Harvey’s beaming smile and upbeat energy.

Katie revealed that her eldest son had visited her after the show. She wrote in a post today that she had just completely slayed that crowd over a selfie that showed her wearing his green frog hat.

Harvey would be taking Katie on tour, according to Katie’s previous announcement. She stated in a post from yesterday that “Harvey is coming on tour and today is back to tour day”? The tour then gained him some excitement.

The latest tour gig comes following the news that Katie was more than two hours late to her An Evening with Katie Price & Kerry Katona show at the Playhouse in Whitley Bay on Monday. Fans are said to have been “furious” over the situation.

According to a previously reported article on the tour website, a now-deleted post stated that the show would begin at 8 p.m. rather than 7 p.m., citing “technical difficulties.” According to some, it claimed that the delay would allow for “bring the best show possible.”

However, it is claimed that Katie didn’t appear on stage at 8 p.m. at that time. Cherry reportedly had the ability to improvise on her own while her pal was on a video call. Katie allegedly arrived in a car on the way to the venue 20 minutes later than she was supposed to have been in.

Upon her arrival, Katie reportedly explained that she was late due to needing to be at home for Harvey. An audience member told the Chronicle that the sound was “very quiet” and “unclear” throughout, before the show ended at around 10.20pm, ahead of a meet and greet opportunity with Katie and Kerry.

A source told the Sun that Kerry was “solo” on stage for the first half of the show and that Katie attempted to join by video, though that’s said to have been a “disaster”. The source said that the show had a “longer interval” and that Katie “finally” arrived at 9.30pm, adding: “She said it was the traffic and had taken her over nine hours to get there, but fans are furious.”

One fan also contacted the outlet, saying, “We want half of our money back because it’s so unprofessional. Another criticized Katie’s presence on stage for close to 30 minutes, adding, “It’s a joke.”

Kerry Katona puts on animated display with Celebs Go Dating toyboy boyfriend

For the most recent date on her joint tour with Katie Price, Kerry Katona and her boyfriend Paolo made sure all eyes were on them as they arrived at the theater.

Kerry Katona and her new boyfriend, Paolo Margaglione, were spotted looking loved up as they arrived at a theatre. The singer and television personality, who found fame in Atomic Kitten, is tonight appearing alongside Katie Price in St Helens.

The pair were snapped as they returned to the venue from a smoke break and were all smiles as they walked together hand in hand. Paolo, 33, is an influencer and 12 years younger than Kerry, 45. He met the singer on the latest series of the hit show Celebs Go Dating, and they have been dating ever since the show aired this year.

Not long after Kerry’s breakup with Ryan Mahoney, they broke up. Their engagement ended in November of that year, and Kerry revealed how everything turned out on Celebs Go Dating. We were having a lot of argument because Kerry didn’t have the emotional support he needed. I don’t want diamond rings; just the little things that I want.

Kerry Katona and Paolo

I kicked off, “That’s it, we’re done,” and he responded, “Look, I just don’t know if I love you any more. Kerry broke down in tears as she revealed to the relationship experts on the show, Dr. Tara Suwinyattichaiporn and Anna Williamson, that she had never had anyone look after me. I’m extremely proud of the fact that I was given the honor of being my own hero. Yes, I have a problem with that.

However, the actress appears much happier in these recent photos of her and her new boyfriend, Paolo, who reportedly has already moved in with her. Paolo’s fans called him “a fame-hungry red flag,” and earlier this month Kerry fiercely defended him. The couple watched as one viewer quickly refuted the couple’s claim that Paolo was only there for publicity during a joint Instagram live.

She explained to the audience that their relationship is merely a matter of “connection.” He has, in fact, been more supportive of me because I’m the one who has experienced it more than anything. People become aware that the connection we have and how we behave don’t change anything.

The pair were seen together heading toward the St. Helens theater, where Kerry and Katie Price are currently putting on a new show on their joint tour. Fans in Whitely Bay were reported to be furious and demanding their money after Katie missed the first half of the show, forcing Kerry to leave alone, which has so far been a bumpy road.

Apparently, Katie’s behavior was criticized as “unprofessional.” According to a reporter for The Sun, a fan said, “We want half of our money back because it’s only half a show; it’s so unprofessional.”

One person is said to have called it a “joke,” while another complained that they had not been given an apology. People don’t want to spend the night just enjoying a Monday night out. They even failed to properly apologize. Katie canceled a charity event to appear and party with Chloe Ferry, according to the article.

She had scheduled a performance at Milton Keynes Pride, but she canceled at the last minute. The organizers criticized her for her “professionalism,” especially when the justification she gave for being too busy filming and recording a new song in a studio turned out to be a lie.

When she called in, I was disappointed, but I was upset when Chloe Ferry turned out to be her birthday. A former fan said, “It’s not right.” That was a load of lies when she claimed she couldn’t do a charity gig because of filming.
