Dolly Parton cancels her Las Vegas residency after citing ongoing health issues. The country singer, 80, had been scheduled to perform at Caesar’s Palace in December 2025, but the dates were later moved to September 2026. In a video posted to her social media accounts, Parton says she will not be able to go on stage as planned and asks for patience while she continues treatment.
Across reports, Parton’s message centers on improving health while not yet feeling stage-ready. She says she is responding “really well” to medications and other treatments and that she is “improving every day.” Some outlets also note that she describes the treatment process as making her feel temporarily unwell, using light humor to address the situation. Other details about the underlying illness are not specified in the coverage.
The cancellation affects the rescheduled September residency dates, with Parton indicating that her focus is on recovery and continuing medical care rather than performances for now. Sources also describe her as sounding upbeat in her update and reiterating her conditions are treatable.
