Dolly Parton has not had the best year. She lost her husband, Carl, in March of 2025. And the loss of her husband of 58 years took its toll on her healthwise, as does her age. So, doctors have given the 80-year-old some medicine and procedures to deal with her immune and digestive issues, which include lots and lots of kidney stones. Those medicines have made her “a little bit swimmy-headed.”
Because of the medicine’s effects, she will have to cancel her Las Vegas residency, which was slated for September. She is not physically strong enough to carry her instruments, walk in 5″ heels, wear heavy rhinestone outfits, and support her a$$ets!
While her body is going through a tune-up, she is still with it mentally, and that is more than a lot of us can say.
The singer also still has her sense of humor. So as long as there are plastic surgeons in the world, she will continue to look as youthful as she did when she was working 9 to 5. Unfortunately for her, as she said, “Plastic surgeons can make you look as good as they can on the outside. But it is serious business when you talk about internal medicine.”
But she assured us that she had great doctors, and they told her that everything she has is “treatable.”
So while she can’t do her Vegas shows yet, she is working on her Broadway show, Dolly: A True Original Musical, Dolly: A True Original Musical, which is expected to debut later this year, and she is opening a museum and hotel in Nashville.
She is always keeping busy, and I will keep busy praying for her to feel better soon! Because she is a national treasure, we cannot lose.
