LDT “🎤 Dolly Parton Breaks Her Silence: “I’m Not Dying… I Ain’t Done Working.” 🌟”
After a wave of concern swept through social media over rumors about her health, Dolly Parton has spoken out in true Dolly fashion — with grace, humor, and a whole lot of heart.
The country music legend, 79, took to video this week to personally reassure fans that she’s “alive, kicking, and nowhere near done.” Wearing her signature smile and sparkly jacket, Dolly opened the clip with the now-viral line:
“I’m not dying… I ain’t done working.”
The message came after online chatter and tabloid speculation about her wellbeing intensified following news of her postponed Las Vegas residency. The beloved singer and philanthropist addressed the talk head-on, explaining that while she has been facing some health challenges and will undergo “a few medical procedures,” she’s staying positive — and creative as ever.
“Y’all know I’ve never been one to sit still for too long,” she joked. “I just need a little time to rest, recharge, and then I’ll be right back at it. So don’t start planning my farewell party just yet!”
Parton’s video quickly racked up millions of views across platforms, drawing a flood of supportive comments from fans and fellow artists. Stars like Reba McEntire and Kacey Musgraves sent messages of love, calling Dolly “a national treasure who refuses to slow down.”
Behind the scenes, Dolly continues to oversee several projects — including her upcoming Songteller Hotel in Nashville, slated to open in 2026, and a new charity initiative connected to her Imagination Library, which has now gifted over 230 million free books to children worldwide.
Her message to fans? Pure Dolly: a mix of optimism, humor, and stubborn resilience.
“I’ve got too many dreams left to chase and too many songs left to sing,” she said with a wink. “So, you just keep me in your prayers, and I’ll keep you in my heart.”
For a woman whose career has spanned more than six decades — from the Grand Ole Opry to global superstardom — it’s clear that Dolly Parton isn’t slowing down. She’s simply turning the page to her next chapter. 💖✨
