Dolly Parton recently shared a much-needed update on what she's been up to. On Wednesday, October 8, the singer took to her official Instagram to share a video of herself, promising her followers that she was fine and doing great. In the video captioned “I ain't dead yet,” Dolly Parton gave a lengthy update on what she's been up to.

“I want to say something! Well, today is October 8th, and obviously, I'm here doing some commercials for the Grand Ole Opry, which is why I'm dressed kinda like a country western girl. But before I got started, I wanted to say that I know lately everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am. Do I look sick to you? I'm working hard here.”

More details on Dolly Parton’s video update

In the video shared on her official Instagram, the Jolene crooner addressed some of the rumors that she was critically Ill and on her deathbed.

Dolly Parton added that she was making the video to put everyone at ease and announce that she was fine and not as sick as people were making her out to be.

“Anyway, I wanted to put everybody’s mind at ease, those of you that seemed to be really concerned, which I appreciate, and I appreciate your prayers, cause I'm a person of faith, I can always use the prayers for anything and everything.”

She confirmed that she was sick, a sickness caused by not taking care of herself when her husband Carl died.

“But I want you to know that I'm okay, I've got some problems as I 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, so I let a lot of things that I should have been taking care of. Anyway, 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.”

Dolly Parton concluded the video:

“Anyway, there are just a lot of rumors flying around, but I figured if you heard it from me, you'd know that I was okay. So anyhow, that's what I wanted to say, and I'm not ready to die yet. I don't think God is through with me. So I love you for caring and keep praying for me.”
