Dolly Parton’s fans have been waiting for her Las Vegas residency. However, they will have to wait a little longer; Dolly Parton has canceled her Las Vegas residency due to long-term health struggles. The ‘I Will Always Love You’ singer mentioned that, although he is on the road to recovery, his long battle with health has slowed down his pace. His meds and treatments make him feel light-headed, which is not an ideal condition for traveling with all his musical instruments.
Dolly Parton has canceled her Las Vegas residency due to health issues
“I’m really sorry that I’m going to miss all of you who had tickets to see me in Las Vegas. Well, you go to Vegas and have a great time,” Dolly said in a video shared on her social media. He added, “And I hope someday you’ll come to New York and maybe see my show, and I’ll see you somewhere.”
Expressing her gratitude, she continued: “But I also want you to know that a lot of you are worried about me and Carl, and you were great at it. But after the first year, the holidays and especially our wedding anniversary and the day of his death, March 3rd, I mean, that was hard for me. But I’ll always love it, and I’ll be amazed at that time.““Lord, my house and my front porch looked like botanical gardens with all the flowers, and my body looked like the post office with all the cards and letters. So yes, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ve been a big part of my healing,” the 80-year-old country music star said.
Dolly Parton has both good and bad news amid her health struggles
“First it’s about my health and I have some good news and some bad news, but the good news is that I’m responding very well to medicine and treatment and getting better every day,” he mentioned at the beginning of his video message.Then, on to the not-so-good news, he said, “Now, the bad news is that it’s going to be a while before I get on stage, because some of the drugs and treatments make me a little dizzy, as my grandmother used to say. And of course, I can’t get dizzy, I’m walking around with banjos and guitars. Wearing them, all those heavy rhinestone outfits, big hair, my big personality. Lord, that would make anyone swim.On a lighter note, he jokes: “But think of me as an old classic car that once restored can be better than ever. But when they lifted the hood on this old antique, they realized I needed to rebuild my engine and my transmission was slipping. The oil pan is leaking and my bottom end is broken, and the shocks and plugs need replacing. Need to be replaced.” Because you know, as well as I do, that I can’t lose my spark. I know I’m still crazy, but they didn’t mention anything about my mental health. But you know, I’ve told you before that I’ve always had problems with kidney stones. Lord, I get more stone out of me in a year than the quarries in Rockwood, Tennessee.”However, on a serious note, she said her immune and digestive systems had “been out of whack in the last couple of three years”.“And they’re working really hard on rebuilding and strengthening them. And I hope I’ll be up and running again soon. Maybe I shouldn’t say tobacco. Tobacco wouldn’t be very good for any of them, would it? Besides, I wouldn’t want my bottom lip to fall over everything else. Would that be a waste? Silly, but I’m trying to keep it all light and airy. They say a happy heart is like good medicine.Amidst all this, the country singer confirmed that he is still working. In addition to writing and recording, he is focused on his Broadway musical.
