The Lo Down: Dolly Says She “Ain’t Dead Yet!”

After fans flooded social media with prayers for Dolly Parton, the country legend took to Instagram to clear the air herself.

Her sister, Freida Parton, had posted earlier this week asking for prayers and sharing that Dolly “isn’t doing well,” following the cancellation of six Las Vegas residency shows due to health issues.

But in true Dolly fashion, the icon hopped online to reassure everyone that she’s okay — smiling and saying, “I ain’t dead yet!” She thanked fans for their concern, explaining she’s just been taking some time to rest and recover.

Freida has since echoed that Dolly is strong and surrounded by love, and fans have continued to flood both sisters’ pages with supportive messages.

We’re so glad to hear Dolly’s on the mend — because the world just isn’t the same without her sparkle and sass. 💛
