Here’s how other celebrities are helping out amid the pandemic.

Dolly Parton wants fans all over the world to keep the faith amid the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

The 74-year-old country icon starts out singing in her latest Instagram, before switching to a sweet talk to her fans.

“I’m not making light of the situation. Well, maybe I am, because it’s the light, I believe, that’s gonna dissolve the situation,” she says. “I think God is in this, I really do. I think he’s trying to hold us up to the light so we can see ourselves and see each other through the eyes of love. And I hope we learn that lesson.”

Dolly continued, “I think that when this passes, we’re gonna all be better people. I know that I have a positive attitude about it, as negative as it seems to be right now. So just keep the faith, don’t be too scared, it’s gonna be alright, God loves us.”

Later this week, Dolly will be launching a new video series entitled “Goodnight With Dolly” which will see her reading children’s books that have been “carefully chosen for their appropriate content at this moment in time” on Thursday nights.

The series will launch April 2nd at 7:00 p.m. EST, on the YouTube channel for her Imagination Library, and will run for 10 weeks.

Dolly Parton has shared a tribute to the late Kenny Rogers, who was her singing partner for many years. He passed away from natural causes.

The country singer posted a one-minute video message on her Twitter account along with this message: “You never know how much you love somebody until they’re gone. I’ve had so many wonderful years and wonderful times with my friend Kenny, but above all the music and the success I loved him as a wonderful man and a true friend.”

Dolly said that she learned about Kenny‘s death while watching the news.

In the video, Dolly said, “I know that we all know that Kenny is in a better place than we are today and I’m pretty sure that he’s going to be talking to God sometime today… and he’s going to be asking him to spread some light on a bunch of this darkness. I loved Kenny with all my heart. My heart’s broken. A big ol’ chunk of it has gone with him today.”

“I think I can speak for all of his family, his friends, and fans when I say that I will always love you,” she added. While tearing up, she added, “God bless you Kenny, fly high straight into the arms of God. To the rest of you, keep the faith.”

“Well, I don’t plan to retire,” she said when asked what her “retirement age” would be.

“I just turned 74 and I plan to be on the cover of Playboy magazine again,” she went on to say.

Dolly first appeared on the cover of the magazine’s October 1978 issue.

“See, I did Playboy magazine years ago. I thought it would be such a hoot, if they’ll go for it – I don’t know if they will – if I could be on the cover again when I’m 75.”

When asked if she would wear the same outfit, she said “Maybe. I could probably use it. Boobs are still the same,” she said, laughing.

She recently revealed who her first crush was – find out who!
