00:08posted a video to set the record straight after a wave of concern sparked by her sister Frida's

00:14late night call for prayers on social media. I know lately everybody thinks that I am sicker

00:21than I am. Do I look sick to you? I'm working hard here. Anyway, I wanted to put everybody's

00:27mind at ease, those of you that seem to be real concerned, which I appreciate. And I

00:33appreciate your prayers because I'm a person of faith. I can always use the prayers for

00:38anything and everything. But I want you to know that I'm okay.

00:43See, what a nice message. Parton says she's been under the weather and is going through

00:47a few treatments, but assures fans it's nothing major. She admits after losing her husband,

00:52Carl Dean, earlier this year, remember that? She, quote, let a few things go, health-wise.

00:57Last month, Dolly Parton announced she was postponing her December concerts in Vegas

01:01until 2026 because of health challenges. But now, she's getting back on track.

01:07There's just a lot of rumors flying around, but I figured if you heard it from me,

01:12you'd know that I was okay. So anyhow, that's what I wanted to say. And I'm not ready to die yet.

01:20I don't think God is through with me and I ain't done working. So I love you for caring and keep

01:27praying for me. All right. Thank you, Dolly. We will. Her sister, Freda, later clarified online that

01:34her prayer request was just a little sister worried about her big sister. Dolly captions her video,

01:39I ain't dead yet. And thank goodness.
