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 scheduled for December 2025, due to health concerns. The 79-year-old singer shared that she has been advised by her doctors to undergo several medical procedures, leading to the decision to reschedule the performances.

"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," Parton stated. "As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it's not the usual trip ... !"

The residency, titled "Dolly: Live in Las ... ," was set to take place at The Colosseum at ... from December 4 to 13, 2025. These dates have now been moved to September 2026. Parton emphasized her commitment to delivering a high-quality performance for her fans and expressed her desire to be at her best for the shows.

"You pay good money to see me ... ," she added.

Ticket holders for the original dates will have their tickets honored for the rescheduled shows, with refunds available for those unable to attend the new dates.

Despite the postponement, Parton reassured fans that she has no plans to retire. She mentioned that while she will continue working on projects from Nashville during her recovery, she needs some time to prepare for the upcoming performances.

"Don't worry about me quittin' the business because God hasn't said anything about stopping yet," Parton said. "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."

This announcement follows a recent health issue that prevented Parton from attending an event at her Dollywood theme park earlier this month. She revealed that she had suffered a kidney stone and infection, leading her doctor to advise against travel at that time.

The rescheduled Las Vegas residency will mark Parton's first extended run of concerts in the city in over three decades. Fans can look forward to her return to the stage in September 2026.
