Dolly Parton has postponed a string of concerts in Las Vegas amid “health challenges,” she announced Sept. 28.
The country music legend did not specify what health struggles she’s facing but said, “my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures.”
Her health update featured her signature wit and humor.
“As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!” she wrote.
Parton was set to perform six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas.” The shows were scheduled between Dec. 4 and Dec. 13, 2025.
At the time, Parton said in a statement: “To say I’m excited would be an understatement. I haven’t worked Vegas in years and I’ve always loved singing there. I’m looking so forward to the shows in The Colosseum at Caesars and I hope you are as well. See you there!”
In her announcement postponing the shows, Parton said due to her health, “I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see.”
“You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you,” she added.
Concluding her statement, she affirmed she has no plans to hang up her hat in the music industry.
“Don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet,” she said. “But I believe he is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you.”
