Dolly Parton has reassured fans she ‘isn’t dying’ and that God ‘isn’t through with her yet’ in a charming new video update.
The country star worried fans when she postponed her December Las Vegas residency over health concerns last week.
Her sister then shared she’d been ‘up all night’ praying for her sister, but later reassured fans the singer was just ‘a little under the weather.’
“I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers,” she said.
Now, Dolly has taken matters into her own hands with a witty social media video shared on Wednesday October 8.
In full glam, Dolly addressed fans while shooting a TV commercial.
“Do I look sick to you? I’m working hard here!” she joked.
Dolly said she appreciated everyone’s concerns and prayers, adding: “I could always use the prayers for anything and everything.”
She gave a bit more context around her health problems, adding that she had some ‘issues’ from when her husband Carl was sick long-term.
“When he passed, I didn’t take care of myself so I let a lot of things go that I should’ve been taking care of,” she shared.
When she ‘got around to it,’ doctors said there were some things that needed taking care of but ‘nothing major.’
She wanted to stay closer to home and the center where she’s having ‘a few treatments at.’
“I’m not dying!” she added.
Back in March, Parton shared the heartbreaking news that her husband of almost 60 years, Carl Dean, had died at the age of 82.
In June, she said she’d put writing songs on hold as she coped with the devastating loss. The pair had met back in 1964 outside the Wishy Washy Laundromat in Nashville.
Parton was 18 and Dean was 21. Sparks flew as Dean drove past in his pickup truck when he saw Parton outside and ‘hollered’ at her, she told The New York Times in 1976.
Their marriage had stood the test of time, and the couple even renewed their vows in 2016 at their Nashville home.
