US EditionDolly Parton Cancels Las Vegas Residency Due to Health Issues
- On Monday, May 4, country music icon Dolly Parton announced in a social media video that she is canceling her Las Vegas residency due to ongoing health challenges. While she assured fans she is "responding really well to meds and treatments," she remains unable to perform.
- Parton has struggled with kidney stones and digestive issues in recent years, prompting concern last October when her sister, Freida Parton, asked fans for prayers. Doctors are now working to rebuild her immune and digestive systems.
- Explaining her absence, Parton joked that medications make her "a little bit swimmy-headed," and she cannot safely perform while "carrying around banjos, guitars and such on five-inch heels." She compared her recovery to an "old classic car" needing restoration.
- Despite stepping away from live performances, Parton continues working from home on her upcoming Broadway musical, "Dolly: A True Original Musical," expected later this year. She apologized to ticket holders, promising to reconnect "somewhere down the line."
- Parton remains optimistic, stating she is "improving every day" and her conditions are treatable. She thanked fans for support over the past year, affirming she still has "some healing to do" before returning to the stage.
