Dolly Parton has announced that her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency will be postponed as she prioritizes her health.
The 79-year-old country music legend shared the news directly with fans on Instagram, explaining that she has been facing health challenges that require her to undergo several medical procedures.
‘I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts,’ Parton wrote. ‘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.’
In her signature humor, she joked that it felt like time for her ‘100,000-mile check-up,’ clarifying that it wasn’t her ‘usual trip to see [her] plastic surgeon.’
Despite the setback, Parton reassured fans that she is not retiring.
‘Don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet,’ she 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. I love you and thank you for understanding.’
The new Las Vegas dates will now run from September 2026, with rescheduled shows spanning from September 17 to September 26.
Tickets for the original 2025 shows will be valid for the new dates, and refunds will be available for those unable to attend.
