Singer Dolly Parton says she will never retire unless she or her husband falls ill.
Parton, 68, hopes to keep performing well into old age, reported Contactmusic.
"I hope to continue to go, unless my health should fail me or my husband should fall sick. I intend to work till I fall over. I would love to be able to be like Bob Hope and Betty White and a lot of those folks that work till they're 90, 100 years old. I have no intentions of retiring!," she said.
The singer also said that she loved seeing her friends "slaughter" her songs at karaoke.
"I have seen my songs slaughtered pretty good, by some of my drunk friends. But it's always fun. It's always good," she added.
