WASHINGTON (AFP): Dolly Parton, 79, has postponed her upcoming Las Vegas concerts due to “health challenges,” the American country music legend announced, although she stressed she is not yet ending her glittering career. “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,” the singer-songwriter posted on social media late Sunday, without disclosing specifics. She revealed that the new dates are set for September of 2026. She told her millions of followers that she would continue her projects in Nashville but would need “a little time to get show ready, as they say. “And don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet.”Parton became a major star in the 1970s, with singles including “Coat of Many Colors,” and followed up with smash hits like “I Will Always Love You,” famously covered by Whitney Houston, and “9 to 5.”
