Country music icon Dolly Parton has postponed her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency due to undisclosed health issues, prompting her sister, Freida Parton, to call for global prayers. The 79-year-old legend, known for timeless hits like ‘Jolene’ and ‘I Will Always Love You,’ was set to perform six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December. However, she announced the delay, rescheduling the concerts to September 2025, citing the need for ‘a few procedures’ to address ongoing health challenges. Freida Parton took to Facebook to rally fans, stating, ‘I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been led to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me.’ She expressed confidence in Dolly’s resilience, writing, ‘She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine.’ This setback follows a challenging year for the singer, who recently withdrew from a Dollywood event due to a kidney stone diagnosis and mourned the loss of her husband, Carl Dean, after nearly six decades of marriage. Despite these trials, Dolly remains a beloved figure in the music world, with her Las Vegas residency marking her first return to the Strip since the 1990s. Fans worldwide continue to send their support and well-wishes as she focuses on her recovery.
