Headline: Elle King was 'overwhelmed' before drunken Dolly Parton tribute
Caption: The singer has opened up about the disastrous performance she gave at Dolly's 78th birthday tribute show in Nashville, Tennessee, in January. "I had been going through something very heavy and traumatic in my life at the time," Elle, 34, explained on Thursday's episode of Chelsea Handler's Dear Chelsea podcast. "That day was a really big day dealing with what I was going through and am still going through, and I suffer from severe PTSD." The Ex's & Oh's hitmaker added she was "really overwhelmed" before the show, noting she "hadn't eaten" and "hadn't slept in days".
