Singer Dolly Parton doesn’t plan on stopping her career of more than 50 years.
In an interview with “Greatest Hits Radio,” Parton, 77, said she’s “not one to sit around doing nothing” and admitted she feels “responsible” to keep going despite her age.
“I would never retire. I’ll just hopefully drop dead in the middle of a song onstage someday,” she joked, adding she hopes it will be to a song she’s written.
She continued, “Anyhow, that’s how I hope to go. Of course, we don’t have much of a choice in that.”
Parton revealed she plans to keep working as long as she can while her “health is good” and her “husband is good.”

Parton also revealed what her plans were for the future.
