Dolly Parton has canceled her Las Vegas residency due to ongoing health challenges, including kidney stones and immune/digestive system issues, but assures fans her conditions are treatable.
Dolly Parton has announced the cancellation of her previously postponed Las Vegas residency, citing persistent health challenges that leave her feeling "swimmy headed." While not detailing specifics, Parton revealed a history of kidney stone problems and issues with her immune and digestive systems over the past few years, which are now being actively rebuilt and strengthened. She emphasized that doctors have assured her all her ailments are treatable. Despite these setbacks, Parton confirmed she is still actively working on her Nashville museum and hotel, as well as her forthcoming Broadway musical, "Dolly: A True Original Musical." This cancellation follows an earlier postponement of the residency, which was initially scheduled for December and moved to September. Parton has faced previous health issues, including a kidney stone infection that prevented her from attending a Dollywood announcement last September, and she humorously addressed public health speculation in a video last October, stating she "ain't dead yet" and God isn't "through with her."
