Dolly Parton has postponed her upcoming Las Vegas shows because of “health challenges.”
The country music legend made the announcement in an Instagram post on Sunday, Sept. 28.
“I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts,” Parton wrote. “As many of you know, I’ve been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000 check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!”
She continued, “In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you. While I’ll still be able to work on all of my 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. 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. I love you and thank you for understanding.”
Parton’s post listed all six impacted shows, which were between Dec. 4-13. Tickets will be valid for new shows days, which will run Sept. 17-26 of next year. Refunds are also available at point of purchase.
This comes after Parton has to miss the opening of a new experience at her theme park, Dollywood, last week because of kidney stones.
The “Jolene” hitmaker, 79, apologized to fans in a pre-recorded video that played at an event on Wednesday.
“Hello Dollywood. It’s me. I know. I’m here, you’re there and you’re wondering why that is,” Parton said in the video that was posted to X.
“Well, I had a little problem. I had a kidney stone, which was causing me a lot of problems. Turns out there was an infection and the doctor said, ‘You don’t need to be traveling right this minute. So, you need a few days to get better,’” she continued. “So he suggested I don’t go to Dollywood today. I want to make this clear, I was looking so forward to it.”
Parton ended the clip by reassuring fans not to worry.
“I’ll be back as quick as I can,” she said. “I’m going to be okay. I just can’t do it today.”
