Dolly Parton has postponed a number of her Las Vegas concerts due to “health challenges.”

She continued, “As many of you know, I’ve 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 100,000 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 see good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you,” the “9 to 5” singer added.

“And don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet,” Parton wrote. “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,” she concluded her post.
The message was then followed by a list of revised tour dates, revealing that the country star’s upcoming December 2025 dates will be postponed to the fall of 2026.
Parton was initially scheduled to perform in Las Vegas for a limited engagement at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. It would have been the first time that she performed an extended run in the city in 32 years.
PEOPLE reached out to reps for Parton for comment on Sunday, Sept. 28, but did not receive an immediate response.

Parton missed an engagement at Dollywood, her theme park in Tennessee, earlier this month on Sept. 17 due to kidney stones.
“I had a kidney stone that was causing me a lot of problems, turned out it’d given me an infection, and the doctor said, ‘You don’t need to be traveling right this minute, so you need a few days to get better,’ ” she told fans in a video taped for event attendees.
