Meanwhile, Dolly’s shows have been moved to September 2026, and fans were notified that tickets would be valid for the new dates.

The superstar singer revealed her sad news last week that she had postpone her residency.

Dolly said in a heartfelt message: “I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts.

“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.

“As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon.

“In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see.”

The Jolene vocalist continued: “You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you.

“While I’ll still be able to work on all of my projects from here in Nashville, I just need a little time to get show ready, as they say.”

She then reassured fans she would be in the music industry for the long run and added: “And don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet.

“He is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you. I love you and thank you for understanding.”

A second slide then revealed the newly-rearranged dates, which will now see her take to the stage in 2026, on September 17, 19, 20, 23, 25 and 26.

Original tickets are valid for the new dates and refunds will be accepted.

HEALTH BATTLE

This month, Dolly told how a painful health diagnosis had forced her to cancel her trip to Dollywood.

“Hello Dollywood! It’s me! I know, I’m here and you’re there and wondering why that is,” Dolly said in a clip posted to X by news reporter Marcus Leshock.

She then revealed she was suffering from “a kidney stone,” which forced her to miss the appearance.

“I had a little problem. I had a kidney stone,” Dolly’s video message continued.

“Turns out there was an infection,’ the music legend said.

“And the doctor said, ‘You don’t need to be traveling around this minute… You need a few days to feel better.’ So, he suggested I not go to Dollywood today.”

Dolly then assured that she was “there in spirit” and told fans that she was “looking forward” to visiting the amusement park again.

The Grammy Award winner also revealed that her condition wasn’t serious; she “just can’t do it today.”

HUSBAND’S SAD DEATH

Away from the stage, Dolly has been battling huge personal grief.

The country singer confirmed in March that her husband Carl Dean had sadly died at the age of 82.

When the news of his passing was revealed earlier this year, Dolly said in a statement: “Carl and I spent many wonderful years together.

“Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years.
