KNOXVILLE (WVLT) – Representatives of musical legend Dolly Parton deny rumors that the East Tennessee native has passed away.

Many concerned viewers and fans have called and written emails to the WVLT newsroom since Friday evening, explaining they heard the rumor that she had died at Fort Sanders Sevier Medical Center from congestive heart failure. A similar rumor has circulated on a pair of previous occasions over the last two years.

Parton, who was born in Sevier County, wrapped up the summer leg of her Backwoods Barbie concert tour on August 17th with a performance at Dollywood. She will take a two month break before resuming the tour in Orlando, Florida on October 18th.

Great Ambassador for East Tennesse! But, it is amazing to me her musical success. Her music does not appeal to me. I think Whitney Houston performed Dolly's biggest hit much better than Dolly.
