Dolly Parton Cancels Long-Delayed Las Vegas Residency Over Health Setbacks

Treatment-related dizziness makes live shows unsafe, prompting a focus on studio work during recovery.

Overview

  • Parton announced in an Instagram video posted Monday that she has canceled the Las Vegas run because medications leave her dizzy.
  • The run, most recently pushed to September 2026 at the Caesars Palace Colosseum, would have marked her first Vegas residency in 32 years.
  • She said her immune and digestive systems are being rebuilt and that recurring kidney stones are under treatment, but the medicines make high-heel, rhinestone-heavy performances unsafe.
  • She will keep working as health allows on new music, videos, her Dollywood park, and a Broadway show titled Dolly: A True Original Musical set to open this year.
  • She thanked fans, noted slow recovery after her husband’s death in March 2025, and said she feels better each day though reaching full stage fitness will take time.
