A Heartfelt Plea from the Parton Family

Dolly’s Health Concerns and Postponed Las Vegas Residency

“It must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon!”
Despite her optimistic tone, the postponement raised concerns about the singer’s wellbeing.
