Dolly Parton’s Health Update
In a video message, Parton expressed her regret for not being present. “I sure wish I could be with you in person today,” she said. She acknowledged that she has been facing health challenges this fall, but assured her fans she was taking the necessary time to recover. “My doctors told me to take it easy for just a little while,” she stated, thanking the community for the honor bestowed upon her.
Improving Health Report
Just days before her video message, a source close to Parton informed People Magazine that her health was on the upswing. “Dolly is getting better every day,” the source mentioned. While at home, she has been surrounded by friends and family. Demonstrating her trademark enthusiasm, she has even begun decorating for the holidays, a season she cherishes.
Postponed Las Vegas Shows
Parton had previously announced the postponement of her Las Vegas concerts. In a statement shared on her X page, she expressed her desire to communicate directly with her fans. “As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges,” she wrote. She mentioned the need for a few medical procedures, humorously referring to them as part of her “100,000-mile check-up.”
Recognizing the importance of delivering a high-quality performance, Parton emphasized her intention to be at her best. “You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you,” she explained.
Previous Health Issues
This isn’t the first time Parton has faced health challenges this year. Earlier, she canceled an appearance at Dollywood due to a kidney stone and subsequent infection. She revealed, “The doctor said, ‘You don’t need to be traveling around this minute.’” Following medical advice, she took time to recover before resuming her commitments.
Parton remains optimistic about her return to the stage and her future projects. “I believe God is telling me to slow down right now,” she noted. Fans are encouraged to continue supporting her journey as she focuses on her health and well-being.
