Lately, there have been rumours about Dolly Parton that her health is not up to the mark. In her latest post, she put those speculations to bed.
In a video, which she captioned, “I ain’t dead yet!”, the country musician, amid shooting an ad for the Grand Ole Opry, says, “I know lately everybody thinks that I’m sicker than I am. Do I look sick to you? I’m working hard here. Anyway, I wanted to put everybody’s minds at ease.”
She continues, “I appreciate your prayers because I ama person of faith, I can always use the prayers for anything and everything… but I want you know that I’m okay. I’ve got some problems as I’ve mentioned.”
“Back when my husband Carl was very sick, that was for a long time, and then when he passed I didn’t take care of myself,” the Jolene singer adds.
“So when I got around to it the doctor said we need to take care of this, we need to take care of that, nothing major.”
“But I did have to cancel some things so I could be closer to home, closer to Vanderbilt where I’m having some treatments here and there but I wanted you I know I’m not dying,” she notes.
Then, Dolly directly addressed the online rumours about her health. “Did you see that AI picture of Reba [McEntire] and me? Ooh, lordie, they had Reba at my deathbed.”
“If I was really dying I don’t think Reba would be the one at my deathbed, she might come visit me earlier, but anyway there are just a lot of rumors flying around but I figured if you heard it from me you would know I was okay,” the 79-year-old adds.
“I’m not ready to die yet, I don’t think God is through with me and I ain’t done working. I love you for caring and keep praying for me,” Dolly concludes.
