Dolly Parton has postponed her Las Vegas residency to undergo medical procedures
The 79-year-old country music legend cancelled an appearance at her Dollywood theme park on September 17, due to kidney stones trouble, and now she has been forced to delay her six-date residency at the Colosseum in December.
Dubbed Dolly: Live in Las Vegas, the shows were set to take place on December 4, 6, 7, 10, 12 and 13.
In a social media statement, the Jolene hitmaker explained: “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! 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.”
Dolly quipped that she just needs “a little time to get show-ready,” and has no plans of calling it quits anytime soon.
She continued: “While I’ll still be able to work on all of 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.”
