False Rumor: Dolly Parton Dead
Saturday August 23, 2008
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.
