Dolly Parton Cancels Las Vegas Residency Due to Health Issues: ‘I’ve Still Got Some Healing to Do’

Dolly Parton has canceled her Las Vegas residency, citing her previously reported health issues, while adding that she’s been “responding really well to meds and treatments” and “improving every day,” although the treatments make her “a little swimmy headed.”

She made the announcement in a typically charming video posted on her socials.

Parton was originally scheduled to perform six shows at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in December. The concerts were rescheduled, due to “health challenges,” for September 2026, but she says in the video that it will be some time before she is “stage-performance ready.”

“Thank you for standing by me and showing me so much love and support over the past year,” she wrote in a caption on the video. “I’ve still got some healing to do, but I am on my way! See you soon. 💖 🦋”

In June, Parton announced her six-show run at Caesars Palace in Vegas. Officially named “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas,” the residency was slated to take place from Dec. 4 through Dec. 13. It was promised to be a “hit-driven concert event” and marked Parton’s first string of shows since her “Pure & Simple” tour wrapped up in 2016.
