Dolly Parton shocked fans in September 2025 when she announced the postponement of her Las Vegas shows due to “health challenges.” Since the 79-year-old “Jolene” hitmaker hasn’t had any glaring health issues in the past, many are wondering what’s going on with Dolly and whether or not she’s sick.
Below, News47.us is breaking down what we know so far about Dolly’s condition.
Dolly announced in a September 28, 2025, Instagram post, that she was postponing her Las Vegas concerts due to “health challenges.”
“I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts,” Dolly wrote. “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.”
Without specifying her current condition, Dolly added her signature wit to her statement by adding, “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!”
At the time of publication, it’s unclear if Dolly is sick with a specific illness. She mentioned having to undergo certain “procedures” without explaining them in detail.
