Fans of Dolly Parton can breathe a huge sigh of relief. For the first time since last summer, the singer has made a public appearance, and while doing so, gave an update on the health issues that have kept her on the sidelines. While Parton has issued occasional videos reassuring fans that she was OK, this was the first time she showed up in person in almost a year. On Friday, Dolly delivered a keynote address on opening day for Dollywood, celebrating the park’s 41st anniversary. “I’ve not been touring, as you know; I’ve had a few little health issues, and we’re taking good care of them,” she said. “I just kind of got worn down and worn out, grieving over (late husband) Carl and a lot of other little things going on. I just got myself kind of where I needed to build myself back up spiritually, emotionally, and physically. But, all is good. It didn’t slow me down.”
