Dolly Parton posts ‘I ain’t dead yet’ after sister sparks health concerns”

She has released a video, telling fans “I’m not dying”, a day after her sister asked for the public to pray for her, sparking concerns about the US country star’s health.

“I know lately everybody thinks that I’m sicker than I am. Do I look sick to you? I’m working hard,” the musician said in a video posted on Instagram on Wednesday, which she filmed while shooting commercials for the Grand Ole Opry music venue in Nashville.

The video came after her sister apologised for scaring fans in her initial Facebook post about Parton’s health.

Dolly Parton has released a video, telling fans “I’m not dying”, a day after her sister asked for the public to pray for her, sparking concerns about the US country star’s health.

“I know lately everybody thinks that I’m sicker than I am. Do I look sick to you? I’m working hard,” the musician said in a video posted on Instagram on Wednesday, which she filmed while shooting commercials for the Grand Ole Opry music venue in Nashville.

The video came after her sister apologised for scaring fans in her initial Facebook post about Parton’s health.

Parton, 79, was recently forced to pull out of a Dollywood event after being diagnosed with a kidney stone.

In her video, Parton thanked fans for their prayers, and explained that “I didn’t take care of myself” after her husband died earlier this year.

“So I let a lot of things go that I should have been taking care of,” she said. “So anyway, when I got around to it, the doctors said ‘we need to take care of this’ and ‘we need to take care of that’. Nothing major, but I did have to cancel some things.”

Parton also laughed about an AI photo she had seen, which shows fellow country star Reba McEntire at her death bed.

“We both looked like we need to be buried,” she laughed.

“There’s a lot of rumours flying around, and I figured if you heard it from me, you’d know that I’m ok,” she said.

She ended by assuring fans: “I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me, and I ain’t done working.”

It comes after her sister Freida Parton posted that she “hasn’t been feeling her best” and asked fans for their prayers.

But in a second post on Facebook, she clarified: “I want to clear something up. I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly.

“She’s been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister.”

In the previous post, her sister said she had been “up all night praying for my sister”, who, she said, “hasn’t been feeling her best lately”.

Freida Parton did, however, ended her message on an upbeat note.

“She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine,” she wrote. “Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you!”
