Dolly Parton shares a heartfelt Thanksgiving message amid health concerns and fond memories of her career.
Back in September, national treasure Dolly Parton announced that she was postponing some of her upcoming shows in Las Vegas to September 2026 because she was dealing with some health challenges and had to have „a few procedures.“ She wrote the following in a letter to her fans:
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 100,000-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.
As I wrote in October, it sounded a bit alarming but like she had things under control — until her sisters, Freida and Stella, began asking for thoughts and prayers for Dolly on social media and caused a big ruckus amongst fans who thought maybe everyone’s favorite country singer was dying.
