American music legend Dolly Parton has reassured fans she is alive and well, following rumours about her health sparked by comments from her sister.
“I ain’t dead yet,” Parton, 79, captioned a video shared on her Instagram page on Wednesday, October 8, 2025.
“Do I look sick to you? I’m working hard here,” the famous singer, who wore black pants and a red top with black fringe, said with a smile from a set where she was filming commercials for the Grand Ole Opry.
Parton had recently announced she was postponing a series of shows planned for Las Vegas to deal with some unspecified health issues.
This week, her sister, Freida Parton, said on social media that she had been “up all night praying” for the singer.
Freida later said she “didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious.”

In Wednesday’s video, Parton said she had neglected her own health during the illness and death of her husband, Carl Dean, who died in March.
She disclosed that she has since been working with doctors to address some issues.
“I want you to know I’m OK. I’ve got some problems… nothing major. I’m not dying,” the singer added.
Parton is a Grammy-winning singer and star of movies including “Steel Magnolias” and “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.” She is due to receive an honorary Oscar in November.
