Dolly Parton Reassures Fans: “I’m Not Dying”

Global music legend Dolly Parton has spoken directly to her fans, putting to rest recent rumors about her health. In a newly released video message, the beloved singer-songwriter assured the public that while she has been addressing some medical concerns, she is "not dying" and remains optimistic about the future.
Parton candidly admitted that in the wake of her husband's passing, she neglected aspects of her health. "I let a lot of things go that I should've been taking care of," she explained, adding that her doctors encouraged her to pay closer attention to her well-being. "There are several things that have accumulated, but nothing major," she reassured.
Out of an abundance of caution, the 78-year-old icon has scaled back her travel and public appearances to stay close to Nashville, where she receives treatment. Still, Dolly maintains her trademark humor and grace, even laughing off recent AI-generated images that falsely suggested she was on her deathbed.
Most importantly, Dolly made clear that her faith remains her foundation in this season. "I'm not ready to die yet ... I don't think God is through with me," she declared, emphasizing her belief that her purpose is still unfolding.
Throughout her storied career, Dolly Parton has consistently credited her Christian faith as the guiding force behind her resilience and creativity. This latest message reflects the same enduring hope and strength that has inspired generations of fans around the world.
For decades, Dolly has stood as a cultural and spiritual touchstone, reminding audiences that even in moments of personal struggle, faith and joy can light the way forward.
