Dolly Parton’s Faith Shines Through Health Challenges: ‘God Isn’t Done with Me Yet’
Country music icon Dolly Parton has announced the postponement of her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency originally scheduled for December, citing the need to address “health challenges” that require medical procedures. The six-night concert series at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace will now take place in September 2026. Ever the candid performer, Parton reassured fans with her trademark humor, likening the setback to a “100,000-mile check-up,” while making it clear that this delay is about quality: “You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you.”
At 79, Parton shows no sign of relinquishing the stage, insisting her faith remains her anchor. “Don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet,” she shared, emphasizing her belief that this pause is simply a divine reminder to slow down. Parton’s resilience echoes through her words, reminding fans that setbacks are only temporary and that her story—both on and off stage—is still unfolding.
Despite health concerns, Parton’s year has been far from quiet. She released her latest book, Star of the Show: My Life on Stage, unveiled DOLLY: A True Original Musical, and remained active in various creative projects from her Nashville base. While fans may miss her presence in Las Vegas this December, her message of faith, perseverance, and gratitude ensures that when Dolly Parton does return to the stage, it will be with the same grace, humor, and unshakable spirit that has defined her legendary career.
