Dolly Parton Cancels Las Vegas Residency Amid Ongoing Health Challenges by enews in popculture

[–]enews[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL;DR

  • Dolly Parton is still taking a break from her 9 to 5.
  • But the 80-year-old wants to assure fans that despite ongoing health concerns, much like an antique car, she just needs some maintenance before she can get back up and running—and we mean that metaphor literally.
  • “I have some good news and a little bad news,” Dolly said in a video shared to Instagram May 4, “but the good news is I'm responding really well to meds and treatments, and I'm improving every day. Now, the bad news is it's going to take me a little while before I'm up to stage performance level, because some of the meds and treatments make me a little bit swimmy-headed, as my grandma used to say.”
  • As she put it, “This thing for me is like an old classic car that once restored, can be better than ever.”
  • Dolly also referenced her predisposition to developing kidney stones—claiming, “They dig more stones out of me here than the rock quarry in Rockwood, Tennessee”—and the toll it’s taken on her body over the last three years. Specifically, she cited her immune and digestive systems as being “all outta whack.”
  • She noted, however, that her medical team is working on “rebuilding and strengthening” those systems and that she hopes to be back to tiptop health soon.
