Dolly Parton has canceled her Las Vegas residency, which had been rescheduled for September, citing her previously reported health issues, while adding that she’s been “responding really well to meds and treatments” and “improving every day,” although the treatments make her “a little swimmy headed.”
Characteristically, she lightened the seriousness of the message with humor. “And of course, I can’t be dizzy carrying around banjos, guitars, and such on five-inch heels — and you know that I’m going to be wearing them,” she said. “Not to mention, all those heavy rhinestone outfits, the big hair, my big… uh, personality. Lord, those — that would make anybody swimmy headed!”
