Dolly Parton, patron saint of country music and one of the last great things about America, is alive, well and still hard at work, she reassured fans in a video<\/a> Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cDo I look sick to you? I\u2019m working hard here,\u201d Parton, 79, said in the two-minute video filmed while she was recording commercials for the Grand Ole Opry, Nashville\u2019s legendary music venue. \u201cI ain\u2019t dead yet!\u201d she captioned the video.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI wanted to put everybody\u2019s mind at ease \u2015 those of you that seem to be real concerned, which I appreciate,\u201d Parton said, adding, \u201cI can always use prayers for anything and everything, but I want you to know that I\u2019m OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The record-breaking musician posted the video a day after one of her sisters, Freida Parton, posted<\/a> on Facebook<\/a> that she was \u201cup all night praying for my sister, Dolly\u201d who \u201chasn\u2019t been feeling her best lately.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cGodspeed, my sissy Dolly,\u201d she wrapped up the message, instilling panic among fans of Parton, beloved not just for her prolific recording career but also for her profound kindness and generosity, support of the LGBTQ+ community and literacy initiatives. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI\u2019m not ready to die yet,\u201d Parton said. \u201cI don\u2019t think God is through with me, and I ain\u2019t done working. So, I love you for caring and keep praying for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Her sister later clarified in another Facebook post<\/a> that she \u201cdidn\u2019t mean to scare anyone\u201d on Tuesday and that Parton was just \u201ca little under the weather.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In her video, Parton divulged that she has had some health problems following the death of her husband<\/a> in March. The issues are \u201cnothing major,\u201d she said, but they have required her to cancel some events so she can be closer to home while receiving \u201ca few treatments here and there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Parton seemed especially amused by an AI-generated image of her with fellow country music star Reba McEntire that made the rounds. In it, McEntire is depicted alongside Parton on her deathbed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Good<\/span>Deals<\/span>Good Journalism<\/span><\/p>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Dolly](\"https:\/\/img.huffingtonpost.com\/asset\/68e6b6fb1500004f1a269b69.jpeg?ops=scalefit_720_noupscale\")
