Dolly Parton’s not going to charge into the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in December … revealing her doctors tell her she must undergo multiple procedures.
The singer-songwriter revealed the news in a sweet Instagram post Sunday … telling her fans she’s still struggling with health problems — and, she says “doctors tell me I must have a few procedures.”
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
She cracks a joke at her own expense … saying she told the docs it must be time for her 100K mile checkup — lightening the mood a little with her classic wit.
However, Dolly says these procedures — which she makes clear are not plastic surgery — will prevent her from preparing for the shows properly … and, so they’ve moved the dates.
She says people paid top dollar — in fact, tickets on resale markets are currently sitting in the $1,500 range for the cheap seats … and, she wants to give her fans the best performance she can.
Don’t think DP’s retiring though … she says she thinks God’s just telling her to slow down a bit — and, she’ll still be working on a few projects in Nashville.
Worth noting … Dolly’s dealth with a ton this year — including the passing of her longtime husband Carl Dean back in March.
Six of Dolly’s December concerts are now moving to September 2026 … so fans may want to see if their flights, hotel rooms and more can be moved to next year.
