According to reports, Dolly has been “quietly struggling” for some time now. Those close to her say years of nonstop work may have finally caught up to her. “The Vegas shows, the recording sessions, the endless public appearances — it just became too much,” one insider said. “She’s been pushing herself for so long, and now her body’s telling her to slow down.”
