Is Dolly Parton Dead?
Snopes has cleared up the rumors about if Dolly Parton has died or not. Luckily, at the age of 77, she is still alive and well. Back in June of 2023, a ton of posts, obituaries and more came out saying that Dolly was dead. It turned out that it was just a hoax and that Dolly is actually fine.

Dolly did go to social media and send out a post about how sad she was that her top songwriter died. There was some confusion with people seeing the word dead along with a picture of Dolly Parton so they assumed the worst. Dolly said:
“I am so sad to hear that Cynthia Weil had passed. She was one of the greatest writers of all time and I owe her such a debt of gratitude because she and her partner, Barry Mann, wrote my first million selling song “Here You Come Again.
So I have always been grateful and will be eternally grateful to her. I’m sure she’ll be missed by all the ones that love her and always be appreciated for all of the wonderful music she left behind.”
