Country music icon Dolly Parton has postponed several highly anticipated Las Vegas shows after revealing she is facing new health challenges, sparking concern and support from fans worldwide.
Dolly’s Health Takes Center Stage
The beloved singer, often called the “Queen of Country,” was scheduled to perform six sold-out shows in Las Vegas this December. However, Parton’s team announced she would be postponing these performances on the advice of her doctors, who have recommended she undergo a series of medical procedures. While the exact nature of her health issues has not been disclosed, sources close to the star confirmed that she recently missed an event at Dollywood due to kidney stones—a condition known for causing severe pain and requiring medical attention.
Parton, 79, has always been candid about her health and personal life, but this time she has chosen to keep the specifics private. Her representatives emphasized that the decision to postpone was made out of an abundance of caution and respect for her well-being.

Social media has been flooded with messages wishing Dolly a speedy recovery and expressing hope that she will return to the stage soon.

Despite the setback, Parton’s team has reassured ticket holders that the shows will be rescheduled once she is cleared by her doctors. “Dolly is grateful for the love and understanding of her fans,” a spokesperson said, “and she looks forward to getting back on stage as soon as possible”.
