Dolly Parton<\/a> delivered a candid health update while kicking off the 2026 season at Dollywood, revealing grief took a physical toll after the death of her husband of nearly six decades, Carl Dean.<\/p>\n

The country legend told fans she had been “worn down and worn out” while grieving for her late husband and also dealing with a few health setbacks.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve not been touring, as you know,” Parton said during a keynote speech, according to footage shared by local station WVLT 8.<\/a> “I\u2019ve had a few little health issues, and we\u2019re taking good care of them.”<\/p>\n

Parton, 80, admitted the emotional toll of losing Dean \u2014 who died March 3, 2025, at age 82 after 58 years of marriage \u2014 left her feeling drained.<\/p>\n

“I just kind of got worn down and worn out, grieving over Carl and a lot of other little things going on,” Parton said. “I just got myself kind of where I needed to build myself back up spiritually, emotionally and physically. But all is good. It didn\u2019t slow me down.”<\/p>\n

Despite the setbacks, Parton appeared upbeat as she took the stage with Eugene Naughton, president of the Dollywood Company, to celebrate the park\u2019s new season.<\/p>\n

The “9 to 5” singer also shut down speculation about her love life with a dose of her trademark humor.<\/p>\n

After joking that fans shouldn\u2019t mistake Naughton for her “new husband,” Parton confirmed she hasn\u2019t started dating since Dean\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

“I think Carl Dean\u2019s waiting for me,” she said. “If I should show up at the pearly gates with somebody else, he would not like that. He\u2019d be saying, \u2018Who\u2019s that little pisser? You leave him outside the gates.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to Parton for comment.<\/p>\n

Parton has faced mounting health concerns<\/a> in recent months, even prompting the country icon to delay a highly anticipated return to the stage.<\/p>\n

In September, Parton sparked worry among fans when she announced she would postpone her upcoming Las Vegas residency, originally scheduled for December 2025, and push the shows to September 2026 as she dealt with ongoing health issues.<\/p>\n

A month later, the 80-year-old singer addressed the speculation directly<\/a> on social media, assuring followers she was doing just fine.<\/p>\n

She captioned the post<\/a>, “I ain’t dead yet!”<\/p>\n

The update came months after the devastating loss of her husband<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Carl and I spent many wonderful years together,” the “Jolene” singer wrote on social media at the time.<\/p>\n

“Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.”<\/p>\n

Parton first met Dean at a laundromat when she was just 18 and he was 21. The pair married in 1966 and went on to build a decadeslong relationship largely outside the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Though rarely seen publicly with his superstar wife, Dean remained a constant presence behind the scenes, quietly supporting Parton throughout her legendary career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
