Dolly Parton Postpones Vegas Shows Amid Health Challenges

Dolly Parton recently announced she’s postponing her Vegas residency due to some ongoing health issues. 

Parton shared the devastating news via Instagram and while this news may disappoint fans eagerly awaiting her shows; Parton, exactly as we would expect, is approaching the situation with grace and positivity.

“As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures.” She shared.

Of course, it wouldn’t be like Parton to have a bit of wit about the entire ordeal. “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 continued.

Taking the time she needs to rest and recover, Parton goes on to say that she cannot rehearse and put together a show that the fans deserve, especially for the “good money” they would pay to see her perform.

In the meantime Parton will continue to work on her projects in her hometown of Nashville, TN, as she takes her time to heal and rest and once again become “show ready”.

She did her best to further reassure fans, and insisted that she’s not quitting the business but rather just slowing down.

Though her Vegas shows are temporarily on hold, Parton’s star remains as bright as ever. There has been an outpouring of love and well wishes on her social media post from fans and artists alike.

Margo Price commented “We love you Dolly! You’re an inspiration to humanity”, Hoda Kotb made a short but sweet statement “Nobody better” and Jennifer Nettles added “Big adventures for you, for sure! Can’t wait to enjoy them with you! In the meantime, tend to yourself and feel better!”
