Dolly Parton is a national treasure. She’s as kind as she is beautiful and puts on one heck of a show. When she postponed her upcoming Las Vegas residency because of health issues, fans became concerned. When her sister, Freida Parton, asked fans to pray, some thought Dolly’s health had taken a grave turn. With her signature sass, Dolly addressed fans on social media to calm their fears, “I ain’t dead yet!” She said.

Dolly Parton recently told People she’s too busy to get old.
“People say, ‘Well, you’re going to be 80 years old.’ Well, so what? Look at all I’ve done in 80 years. I feel like I’m just getting started.” She said, “I know that sounds stupid, but unless my health gives way, which right now I seem to be doing fine. I think there’s a lot to be said about age. If you allow yourself to get old, you will. I say, ‘I ain’t got time to get old!’ I ain’t got time to dwell on that. That’s not what I’m thinking about.”
