Ananova:

Dolly Parton is set to have her famous breasts reduced because she's suffering excruciating back pain.

The country legend wants surgery because her double-D breasts are putting too much strain on her tiny 5ft 1in frame.

Dolly first had silicone implants in her 20s, and again in her 30s, before needing a reduction ten years later when "they started dragging on the floor".

The 58-year-old, who says even support bras cut into her shoulders, said: "My boobs are killing me - and I don't know if I can stand the pain any longer."

Doctors have told the star her chest needs to be dramatically shrunk to prevent permanent damage to her back and shoulders.

The singer added: "My boobs have been a trademark for me - but I've paid one hell of a price."
