Singer Dolly Parton has issued a statement denying a report that claimed she has stomach cancer.<\/p>\n
The 69-year-old country star made the declaration following a story in the National Enquirer that she had been rushed to hospital.<\/p>\n
“There is absolutely no truth at all that I have stomach cancer,” the statement on her website said.<\/p>\n
“It is true that I had kidney stones,” she said. “I had them removed three weeks ago and I am doing just fine!”<\/p>\n
Parton added that she was already back at work following the operation.<\/p>\n
“I am back to work and last week I was at Dollywood filming parts for my new movie Coat of Many Colors,” she wrote. “I love and appreciate everyone’s concern.”<\/p>\n
Fears for Parton’s health were sparked when The Eagles star Don Henley said she had overcome a “medical issue” to shoot a video with him in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
Speaking during an interview at the Americana Music Festival last month, the musician said Parton had “got out of the hospital bed” to join him in the video for When I Stop Dreaming.<\/p>\n
