LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Music legend and global icon Dolly Parton has postponed her upcoming Las Vegas concert dates, citing “health challenges,” the singer-songwriter announced Sunday.

Parton, 79, announced her grand return to the Las Vegas Strip in June with the “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas” a six-night concert series that was set to light up The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December, marking Parton’s first extended Vegas run in 32 years.

In a social media post Sunday afternoon, Parton said she has been dealing with some health challenges and her doctors say she must have a few procedures.

Parton released a statement that read:

“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. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,00-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon! In all seriousness, given this, 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. And 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.”

The postponed show dates have been moved to the following dates;

• Thursday, Dec. 4, 2025, to Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026
