American singer Dolly Parton has postponed her forthcoming Las Vegas shows to late next year, citing health issues.
‎
‎The singer, in a post on her social media pages on Sunday, said the postponement of the six-day show slated for December this year at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas was due to health challenges.
‎
‎”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,” said Parton.
‎
‎”I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concert.”
‎
Parton, who did not reveal the actual condition of her health, noted that her visits to the doctor would not allow her enough time for rehearsals and to put together the best show her fans deserve.

‎”As I joked with them (doctors), it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, and it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!
‎
‎”In all seriousness, given this, I will not be able to rehearse and put together the best show I want you to see and the best show you deserve to see,” she said.
‎
‎The 79-year-old added, “I just need a little time to get show ready, as they say,” announcing the rescheduled dates for her concerts from December 2025 to September 2026.
‎
She also revealed that all purchased tickets will remain valid for the new dates and refunds will be available.Earlier this month, Parton could not attend the unveiling of a new ride at her Dollywood theme park in her hometown of Tennessee after being diagnosed with a kidney stone.

“I had a kidney stone that was causing me a lot of problems, and it turned out it gave me an infection, and the doctor said, ‘You don’t need to be travelling right this minute,'” the singer ‎said in a recorded video message to fans who attended the event.

The Tennessee-born singer is known for hit songs, including “Coat of Many Colors,” “I Will Always Love You,” “9 to 5,” and “Jolene.”
