Overview
Dolly Parton announced she has canceled her six-show Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which had been postponed from December 2025 to September 2026.
Parton said in an Instagram video that her immune and digestive systems 'got all out of whack,' that she has long had kidney-stone problems, and that treatments currently make her 'a little bit swimmy headed.'
She said doctors have assured her 'everything I have is treatable,' and she thanked fans for support as she grieves her husband Carl Dean, who died in March 2025 at age 82.
The 80-year-old performer, a 10-time Grammy winner and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, last toured in 2016 and had planned six shows in Las Vegas.
She said she will continue recording and making videos, will visit Dollywood, and is working on a Nashville museum and hotel opening later this year and a Broadway musical, 'Dolly: A True Original Musical,' set for New York later this year.
