Country music legend Dolly Parton has announced the postponement of her upcoming December shows at the iconic Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the beloved singer revealed that she has been grappling with ongoing health issues, prompting her team to advise her to prioritize her well-being.
Displaying her trademark humor, Dolly reassured fans by joking that it was time for her ‘100,000-mile checkup.’ However, she made it clear that these medical procedures are not cosmetic in nature but are necessary for her overall health. While the specifics of her health conditions remain private, Dolly emphasized that the decision to reschedule is a precautionary measure to ensure her full recovery and readiness for future performances.
Dolly was quick to dispel any retirement rumors, assuring her fans that this move is by no means an exit from the stage. Instead, she views this as a gentle nudge from a higher power to slow down and take care of herself. During this time, she plans to continue working on various projects from her home base in Nashville, ensuring that her creative spirit remains active even as she recovers.
The six highly anticipated concerts originally slated for December have now been rescheduled for September of next year. Fans who have already secured their tickets can rest easy knowing that they will have the opportunity to see the country music queen in action soon enough.
As Dolly takes this time to focus on her health, the entire country music community and her legions of fans around the world are sending their well-wishes for a speedy recovery. Here’s to a swift return to the stage for the ever-resilient Dolly Parton!
