A terminal cancer diagnosis explains what I was seeing with Dolly for the last four or five years. All of a sudden, a few years back, she was doing more live shows and interviews than she had done in years, many times, sharing the stage with Miley Cyrus. I wondered, why is Dolly suddenly working so constantly, like somebody new and unproven? Is she running out of cash with Dollywood?
Does she feel her music legacy is being ignored?
What’s going on with one of the richest entertainers in the business? Her net worth was somewhere around $600 Million.
The answer is Dolly must have known that her time was running out.
