Contrary to recurring rumors, 62-year-old country singer Dolly Parton has not died of congestive heart failure. According to her representatives she is alive and well, having performed in concert as recently as August 17 in Dollywood, Parton's namesake theme park in Tennessee.
WVLT-TV in Knoxville reports receiving many calls from concerned fans since Friday evening, some saying they had heard specifically that Parton passed away at Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center.
Similar false reports have circulated off and on for the past two years.

Dear Dolly,
Here’s your nearly five decade fan since age 6
when we danced out your ‘daddy was an old time preacher man’ in the midst of our African jungles.
Your songs made life both bearable & so much fun
all through the decades past & present, THANKYOU.
I am now a North American of East African origin.
My dream goal yet to be fulfilled somehow, is to
meet you alive, so may you live happily on for
as long as is humanly possible. Cheers.
Dolly Parton will probably be around forever. She’s like all of those other old country singers that just tend to live forever. I’m glad she’s alive though. Good for her.
OMG, I almost had a heart attack!!!!
Thank God she is alive. I would die if she was dead !!!
why false report who ever made the false report should be punnished!!!!!
I will remember meeting you in the Beaumont City audortiam. I was just A boy then. But, you left a ever impreshing on my heart. I will always remember you. Pleas tell me its not true. RANDAL

Dolly is trending #1 on yahoo right now from her Nightline appearance airing tonight. She is not gay, but she loves her gay fans! And thats why we love her, and made our film Hollywood to Dollywood!! which features her, and 16 of her songs! She loves and accepts anyone, and these 2 NC twins love her for it!!
