Rumors that began at a high school football game in Knoxville, TN, which claimed Dolly Parton had died from congestive heart failure are NOT true!
The 60-year-old singer/songrwriter is alive and kickin’ according to Parton’s public relations agent, Pete Owens.
Owens believes the rumor that Parton died from congestive heart failure may have started Friday night. Apparently, a local high school announced Parton’s death during its football game. Owens does not know which high school made the unfortunate mistake.
Owens spoke to Dolly on Saturday and she decided she would not release an official statement confirming that she is alive.
