Dolly Parton has been forced to release a video assuring her fans she’s still alive.

When Dolly’s sister said the star “hasn’t been feeling her best” and asked for prayers people understandably assumed the worst, hence the video.

Dolly assures us “I know lately everybody thinks that I’m sicker than I am. Do I look sick to you? I’m working hard… “

She does admit after her husband died “So I let a lot of things go that I should have been taking care of… 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.”

“There’s a lot of rumours flying around, and I figured if you heard it from me, you’d know that I’m ok… I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me, and I ain’t done working.”
