NEW YORK (AP) — Dolly Parton “ain't dead yet,” the country superstar said on social media Wednesday following public speculation about her health.
“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,” the 79-year-old singer said in a new two-minute video posted on Instagram. “I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me. And I ain’t done working.”
Her post, which appeared on numerous of Parton's social media accounts and her website, was captioned, “I ain't dead yet.”
Late last month Parton postponed her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years, citing “health challenges.”
She was scheduled to perform six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas” between Dec. 4 and Dec. 13, overlap
