Dolly Parton has postponed an upcoming appearance in Las Vegas due to “health challenges,” according to a Sept. 28 announcement the singer published on Instagram.
“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,” Parton wrote in the post. She went on to say that she planned to continue to work on “all of her projects from here in Nashville.
“I just need a little time to get show ready, as they say. And don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet.”
