Dolly Parton Stomach Cancer Rumors Denied

Dolly Parton has denied the National Enquirer report that claimed she has stomach cancer.

The gossip publication published a story saying that the 69-year-old singer had been rushed to hospital.

In a statement on her website, Dolly Parton said: “There is absolutely no truth at all that I have stomach cancer.”

“It is true that I had kidney stones,” she said.

“I had them removed three weeks ago and I am doing just fine!”

Dolly Parton added that she was already back at work following the operation.

“I am back to work and last week I was at Dollywood filming parts for my new movie Coat of Many Colors,” the singer wrote.

“I love and appreciate everyone’s concern.”

Fears for Dolly Parton’s health were sparked when Don Henley said she had overcome a “medical issue” to shoot a video with him in Los Angeles.

Speaking during an interview at the Americana Music Festival in September, The Eagles star said Dolly Parton had “got out of the hospital bed” to join him in the video for When I Stop Dreaming.
