Dolly Parton Postpones Las Vegas Residency Due to Health Concerns

Country music legend Dolly Parton has announced the postponement of her Las Vegas residency, originally set for December 2025, due to health concerns. The six-show engagement at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace has been rescheduled to September 2026.

In a statement shared on social media, Parton, 79, revealed she has been dealing with health challenges necessitating several medical procedures. She humorously referred to this as her "100,000-mile check-up," clarifying it was not her usual visit to the plastic surgeon. Parton emphasized her commitment to delivering high-quality performances, stating she would not be able to rehearse and prepare the show to the standard her audience deserves.

The rescheduled dates for "Dolly: Live in Las Vegas" are set for September 17–26, 2026. Tickets purchased for the original dates will be honored, and refunds are available for those unable to attend the new dates.

Parton reassured fans of her dedication to her career, stating she has no plans to retire and will continue working on projects from Nashville during her recovery. She expressed gratitude for the understanding and support from her fans.

This postponement follows a recent health issue in September, when Parton was unable to attend an event at her Dollywood theme park due to a kidney stone and subsequent infection. Despite these challenges, she remains optimistic about returning to the stage in 2026.
