JAKARTA - Dolly Parton finally spoke up after wild rumors about her health condition were circulating on social media. Through a video, he assured fans that he was in good condition, even the video was recorded in the middle of the advertising schedule.
From the shooting location, Parton, who appeared full of makeup, asked the cameraman to approach and immediately talk about the rumors.
"Everyone thinks I'm more sick than I really am. Do I look sick? I'm working hard here!" said Parton, citing Instagram uploads, Friday, October 10.
The "Jolene" singer felt the need to calm the minds of all fans who were consumed by the rumors.
"I just want to calm everyone's mind... There are only a lot of rumors circulating, but I think if you hear it directly from me you'll know that I'm fine," Parton said.
"I'm not ready to die yet. I don't think God has finished with me and I haven't finished working yet," he said.
However, the 79-year-old singer admitted that there were several health problems suffered, which began when she focused on caring for her husband, Carl Thomas Dean, who was seriously ill for a long time. After her husband died, Parton admitted that he was negligent in taking care of himself.
"I ignored a lot of things I should have taken care of. Finally, when I had, the doctor said, 'We have to take care of this. We have to take care of that.' Nothing big, but I had to cancel a few schedules to get closer to the house, closer to Vanderbilt, where I'm undergoing some treatment here and there. But I want you to know that I'm not dying," he said.

With his distinctive sense of humor, Parton even mentioned the circulating AI photos, which showed he was lying seriously ill and visited by fellow country music superstar, Reba McEntire.
"Did you see the photos of my AI and Reba? Oh God. I mean, they put Reba in my death bed. And the two of us looked like we had to be buried," joked Parton.
"But if I was really dying, I don't think Reba would be someone who would be in my death bed. Maybe he would visit me early."
Meanwhile, fan concerns over Parton's health condition emerged after a social media post from his sister, Freida Parton, asked for prayers for Parton's health.
Freida's request was interpreted by many as a sign of a more serious setback in the diva's health condition than previously announced.
