"I know [that] lately everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am, Parton said in a video filmed on Wednesday on set for a Grand Ole Opry commercial. Do I look sick to you? I'm working hard here. Parton added: Anyway, I wanted to put everybody's mind at ease, those of you that seem to be real concerned, which I appreciate, and I appreciate your prayers because I'm a person of faith."
"As I mentioned back when my husband Carl was very sick, that was for a long time, and then when he passed, I didn't take care of myself, so I let a lot of things go that I should have been taken care of, she said, referring to her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Thomas Dean, who died aged 82 in March."
"Rumors that Parton was seriously ill intensified on Tuesday when her sister Freida wrote in a Facebook post that she had been up all night praying for the 79-year-old superstar. Many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately, she wrote. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead [sic] to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me."
Dolly Parton posted a video denying serious illness and asking fans not to worry, saying she is working and undergoing treatments near her Nashville home. She postponed a Las Vegas residency and withdrew from the Academy Governors Awards, cancelling some appearances to remain closer to Vanderbilt for medical care. Parton said she neglected her own health while caring for her husband Carl Thomas Dean during his long illness and after his death in March, prompting doctors to recommend treatment. Her sister Freida's Facebook post asking for prayers intensified rumors about Parton's condition.
