Country legend Dolly Parton, aged 79, has announced the postponement of her upcoming Las Vegas residency due to health issues requiring medical procedures, as she aims to perform at her best for her fans.

Despite her last tour ending in 2016, Parton remains actively involved in new projects, including a book release and a Broadway musical inspired by her life scheduled for 2026.

She recently addressed personal challenges, including the loss of her husband Carl Dean in March 2025, and expressed gratitude for the support from her fans and friends.

Parton has continued her musical activity with recent albums like 'Rockstar' in 2023, collaborations with Mötley Crüe in 2024, and the premiere of her musical 'Dolly: A True Original' in Nashville.

Her planned performances, which were announced in June to coincide with the National Finals Rodeo, were meant to showcase her career hits, but her health concerns have now led to postponement.

Parton communicated her decision directly via social media, emphasizing her desire to deliver a high-quality concert experience and meet her fans' expectations.

Her 2016 Hollywood Bowl concert drew over 28,000 attendees and grossed approximately $2.26 million, with recent VIP tickets selling out, though fans can still buy resold tickets with caution.

Known for her humor, Parton has historically used lighthearted jokes to announce setbacks, including joking about her show ending after a duet with Oprah in 1987.

Her recent personal life includes the death of her husband, which she publicly acknowledged, and she has also been involved in various entertainment projects, such as collaborations and tribute performances.
