Dolly Parton Cancels Dollywood Appearance After Doctor Orders Her to Rest
Dolly Parton canceled a planned appearance at Dollywood after her doctor advised her not to travel because of ongoing health issues. The 80-year-old singer appeared virtually at the opening of the park’s new NightFlight Expedition roller coaster, explaining that she has experienced dizziness and dehydration and was told by her Nashville doctor to stay put. Parton said she wants to keep fans informed about her health and apologized for missing the event in person. The latest setback follows health challenges that began last year, including kidney stones and an infection, followed by postponed and eventually canceled Las Vegas shows. She has said she is responding well to medication and treatment and that her conditions are treatable. Despite stepping back from performances, Parton continues working on her upcoming Broadway musical, “Dolly: A True Original Musical,” which she will help develop but not star in.
