Dolly Parton wants everyone to know that, in her words, she “ain’t dead yet”.

The legendary country singer has published video proof that she’s very much alive and kicking, after speculation about her health continued to mount following the postponement of her Las Vegas residency due to what she described as “health challenges”.

Taking a break from filming a Grand Ole Opry commercial, Dolly reassured fans on Wednesday in a clip posted to her official social media accounts on Wednesday: “I know lately everyone thinks I’m sicker than I am. Do I look sick to you? I’m working hard here!

“Anyway, I wanted to put everybody’s mind at ease, those of you who seem to be real concerned, which I appreciate. I appreciate your prayers because I’m a person of faith. I could always use the prayers for anything and everything, but I’m OK.”

Dolly went on to reference the loss of her husband of almost 60........
