Dolly Parton shares health update, squashes dating rumors – 'Carl Dean is waiting for me'

The country music legend, 80, offered fans a health update at the opening day of her Dollywood theme park. She also said she won't marry again.

Dolly Parton "ain’t done" working anytime soon.

The "Jolene" hitmaker, 80, gave fans a health update at a keynote address during the opening day of her Tennessee theme park, Dollywood.

"I’ve been missing you," she told fans on March 13, according to footage of the speech from local news outlet WVLT. Amid the park’s 41st season, Parton said she’d "been up to a lot," including writing new songs for her upcoming Broadway musical.

"I have been not touring, as you know. I’ve had a few little health issues and we’re taking good care of them," Parton says. "I just kind of got worn down and worn out, grieving over Carl and a lot of other little things going on. I just got myself kind of where I needed to build myself back up spiritually, emotionally and physically. But all is good. It didn’t slow me down."

Parton had good reason to assure fans. In September, when she postponed her Las Vegas concerts due to "a few procedures," her sister’s call for prayers sparked concern about the severity of her health challenges. Parton quipped back on social media: "I ain’t dead yet!"
