UPDATE:
"As of May 2026, Dolly Parton, 80, has canceled her planned Las_Vegas residency to focus on recovering from ongoing health issues, including kidney stones and immune system imbalances. While she is improving and undergoing treatable care, she noted that medication makes her "swimmy-headed," preventing her from performing, though she continues to work on her Nashville hotel/museum and a Broadway musical."

Key Updates
- Residency Canceled: The previously postponed residency at Caesars Palace (originally Dec 2025, then Sept 2026) is officially canceled to prioritize her health.
- Health Status: Parton stated in a May 2026 video that she is "improving every day" and responding well to treatments for kidney stones and issues with her immune/digestive systems.
- Current Projects: She remains active, working on her Nashville hotel/museum, a new Broadway musical, and managing her brand, noting she is still "working" just not on stage.
- Quote: “Just think of me as like an old classic car. Once restored, [it] can be better than ever,” she said, assuring fans her conditions are treatable.
