​Dolly Parton chimes in on stomach cancer reports

Dolly Parton has blasted reports that she has stomach, saying the rumors are false.

In a statement, the 69-year-old singer reveals that she did have a health issue -- but it was kidney stones.

"I had them removed three weeks ago and I am doing just fine! I am back to work and last week I was at Dollywood filming parts for my new movie 'Coat of Many Colors,'" she said in a statement, adding, "With the 30th Anniversary of Dollywood, I did a full week of activities promoting my new DreamMore Resort's opening."

The country star insisted that "there is absolutely no truth at all that I have stomach cancer," before noting, "I love and appreciate everyone's concern."

"Coat of Many Colors" premieres Dec. 10 on NBC. Last year, Parton released a new solo album called "Blue Smoke."
