Dolly Parton is taking a break from her music tour due to some unprecedented health challenges.
In a post made to social media, the country music legend let audiences know that she is postponing her Las Vegas concerts due to her health.
“I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts. As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures,” Parton wrote.

Parton joked that these surgeries are not part of her “usual trip to see my plastic surgeon,” but that she unfortunately will not be able to give her full attention to music during this time.
I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you. While I’ll still be able to work on all of my projects from here in Nashville, I just need a little time to get show ready, as they say.
Parton then shifted her focus to how the Lord is leading her and guiding her during this time.
…don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet. But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you. I love you and thank you for understanding.
Back in March Parton announced the death of her husband, Carl Dean. The two had been for over 60 years.
