Dolly Parton needs a break.<\/p>\n
The legendary country music icon did a very Dolly thing on Sunday when she took it upon herself to personally announce to fans, via Instagram, that her upcoming six-night residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas<\/a>, which was scheduled for December, is going to have to wait due to the 79-year-old \u201cdealing with some health challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts,\u201d the 9 to 5 star wrote. \u201cAs many of you know, I have 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-mile check-up, although it\u2019s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!\u201d<\/p>\n Parton went on to write that, in putting her health first, she would not be able to dedicate the time and effort she planned to both create and rehearse the show. And the way Dolly sees it, her fans deserve the very best.<\/p>\n \u201cYou pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you,\u201d Parton wrote. \u201cWhile I’ll still be able to work on all of my projects from here in Nashville, I just need a little time to get \u2018show ready,\u2019 as they say.\u201d<\/p>\n For anyone worried this medical bump in the road might have Parton thinking it\u2019s time to retire, you clearly don\u2019t know Dolly. \u201cDon’t worry about me quittin\u2019 the business because God hasn\u2019t said anything about stopping yet,\u201d she said. \u201cBut, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you.\u201d<\/p>\n Parton announced her series of Vegas concerts, known as \u201cDolly: Live in Las Vegas,\u201d in June, with shows scheduled to take place between December 4 and December 13. The concerts were set to mark Parton\u2019s first in nearly a decade, since she wrapped her \u201cPure & Simple\u201d tour in 2016.<\/p>\n The new dates for Dolly\u2019s 2026 shows, which will take place between September 17 and September 26, 2026, have already been booked. Fans who were lucky enough to nab tickets for her December shows will automatically see the dates changed, though refunds will also be available. Ticketsellers will be reaching out to customers to let them know what they need to do.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Men’s Journal<\/a> on Sep 29, 2025, where it first appeared in the Entertainment<\/a> section.
