NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Dolly Parton<\/a> has postponed her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years, citing \u201chealth challenges,\u201d the country legend shared on social media Sunday night.<\/p>\n

She did not provide specific details, writing, \u201cAs 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\u2019s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!\u201d <\/p>\n

Parton added that she is postponing the shows because she is \u201cnot going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was scheduled to perform six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for \u201cDolly: Live in Las Vegas\u201d between Dec. 4 and Dec. 13, overlapping with the National Finals Rodeo.<\/a> Her dates have been moved to next year \u2014 Sept. 2026. <\/p>\n

Tickets are valid for the new dates and refunds will be available, her statement adds.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry about me quittin\u2019 the business because God hasn\u2019t said anything about stopping yet,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I believe he is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parton performs on occasion but hasn\u2019t toured since her \u201cPure & Simple Tour\u201d ended in 2016. But she\u2019s remained as busy as ever: On. Nov. 11, she will release a new book, \u201cStar of the Show: My Life on Stage.\u201d And a new stage musical inspired by her life story is set to land on Broadway in 2026.<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Parton was unable to attend the announcement of a new ride at her Tennessee theme park Dollywood<\/a> due to health issues. \u201cI had a kidney stone that was causing me a lot of problems, turned out it\u2019d given me an infection, and the doctor said, \u2018You don\u2019t need to be traveling right this minute, so you need a few days to get better,\u2019\u201d Parton said in a video announcement at the time. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo, he suggested I not go to Dollywood today, but I\u2019m there with you in spirit. I was looking so forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

And in March of this year, Parton\u2019s devoted husband of nearly 60 years who avoided the spotlight and inspired her timeless hit \u201cJolene,\u201d Carl Dean, died.<\/a> He was 82.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Dolly Parton has postponed her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years, citing \u201chealth…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":190228,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[53598,2224,111069,236,7399,88,97,14834,2114,1058,1060,2219,2222,1306],"class_list":["post-190227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-amusement-parks","tag-arts-and-entertainment","tag-carl-dean","tag-celebrities","tag-dolly-parton","tag-entertainment","tag-health","tag-kidney-disease","tag-las-vegas","tag-nevada","tag-nv-state-wire","tag-tennessee","tag-tn-state-wire","tag-trending-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
