By\u00a0\u00a0MARIA SHERMAN<\/a><\/p>\n NEW YORK (AP) \u2014\u00a0Dolly Parton<\/a>\u00a0has 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\u00a0the National Finals Rodeo.<\/a>\u00a0Her 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\u00a0land on Broadway in 2026.<\/a><\/p>\n Earlier this month, Parton was unable to attend the announcement of a new ride at her\u00a0Tennessee theme park Dollywood<\/a>\u00a0due 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
