Dolly Partonās health issues have heightened concern following the loss of her beloved husband, Carl Dean, seven months ago at the age of 82.
In a heartfelt message on Instagram, she announced the need to postpone her upcoming Las Vegas concerts, stating: āI want the fans and public to hear directly from me that I must unfortunately postpone my planned shows in Las Vegas.ā

Parton added, āIn all seriousness, I wonāt be able to rehearse and deliver the kind of performance that you deserve. You pay good money for my shows, and I want to be at my absolute best for you.ā
