Beloved country singer Dolly Parton, 79, postponed her upcoming Vegas concerts due to health issues.
“I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts. 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. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!” Dolly Parton said in a statement on Sunday.
She continued, “In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you. While I’ll still be able to work on all my projects from here in Nashville, I just need a little time to get show-ready, as they say.”
“And don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet. 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,” she added.
Here are the Las Vegas concert dates that were postponed:

“Carl and I spent many wonderful years together,” Dolly Parton wrote in March.
“Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy,” she wrote.
