Dolly Parton Cancels Vegas Residency Because Of Health Concerns
May 5, 2026 5:07 amDolly Parton cancelled her Las Vegas residency because of health concerns.
She said in an update that she’s responding well to meds and treatments, but it makes her too “swimmy-headed” (lightheaded) to perform.
“I have great doctors and I’m doing really well, and they assure me that everything I have is treatable, so I’m going with that. I’ve told you before that I’ve always had problems with my kidney stones. Lord, they dig more stones out of me a year than the rock quarry in Rockwood, Tennessee.”
Dolly also said her doctors are trying to strengthen her immune and digestive systems. She compared herself to a classic car that’s being restored. She’s been keeping busy, though and is still recording music.
