All is still in motion for the icon to bring down the roof for her “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas” residency, which was initially slated for December 4 to 13 at the Colosseum concert venue.
As stated by Caesars Palace president Sean McBurney, his team remains excited to know that Dolly is doing well and will be back on stage by September 2026.
While the anticipation for next fall remains high, Dolly took the time to wish her fans a heartfelt Thanksgiving via an Instagram post earlier today. The singer, dressed in a brown tweed jacket with her signature blonde voluminous hair, appeared radiant while she showered lovely wishes on her teeming audience.
“I am so thankful for all of you and for the memories we’ve shared through the years. So happy Thanksgiving to everyone, and just know that I will always love you,” the singer concluded with a bright smile on her delicate face.

Dolly’s Thanksgiving post has been received with over 33k likes and thousands of comments from friends, fans, and family who are full of love and adoration towards the celebrity.
“Your makeup looks beautiful. The whole world loves you, Dolly,” one commenter noted under the post. Another Instagram user described the singer as “a shining beacon of light and hope in this dark world.”
One more commenter declared that the world has become a better place because people like the singer exist. “And we will love you, Dolly, every day, and not just 9 to 5! Happy Thanksgiving to you too, and everyone here!!!!” another fan added.
The performer got many compliments on her makeup and radiant demeanor in the video amid loads of Thanksgiving wishes from her admirers.
Dolly Parton’s Absence At The IAAPA Ceremony Sparked Speculations
The singer initially skipped the Governors Awards on November 16, where she was slated to receive the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, raising eyebrows about her health yet again. The Blast reported that by the next event, which was the IAAPA Hall of Fame ceremony, Dolly was yet again absent.
The event celebrated Dollywood, a theme park that brought families together to celebrate, and she appeared in an Instagram video to show her appreciation. Dolly informed her fans that she has been told to take a backseat from the hassles of performances.
“It’s Dolly, and I sure wish I could be with you in person today, but you probably heard that I’ve been dealing with a few health challenges this fall and my doctors told me to take it easy for just a little while,” she explained in the video.
The Country Singer Boasted About Her Work Ethic Ahead Of 80th Birthday Celebration
Reports from the singer’s inner circle confirmed that while she is focusing on her health, she has also hit the ground running in decorating for the holidays and festive period, which doubles as her favorite time of the year.
As reported by The Blast, Dolly is also looking forward to turning 80 in January, with the reassurance that her amazing run in the industry is nowhere near done yet. According to her: “I ain’t got time to get old!’ I ain’t got time to dwell on that. That’s not what I’m thinking about.”
The singer has prided herself on her ability not to let age restrict her from doing great things that can be carried on and building a legacy everyone would be proud of. However, her friends are completely of the opinion that rest is also an important part of the journey; a fact Dolly has not necessarily agreed with.
“She’ll write a song at dawn, film all afternoon, then take meetings until midnight. She pushes herself harder than people half her age,” a longtime friend of the singer noted earlier in the month.
Dolly Parton’s Sister Was The First To Hint At Her Health Issues
Freida Parton brought the issue of Dolly’s health to the fore a few months back when she uploaded a cryptic post about the state of her condition on Facebook.
She had asked the singer’s legion of fans to say prayers for her towards a speedy recovery, leading the fans to believe things were so bad behind closed doors. Freida’s post ricocheted into mass panic among Dolly’s fandom, especially after she had just suffered a personal loss with her husband’s death.
With knowledge of this development, the singer’s sister quickly clarified what was really going on, informing the fans that her post was not meant to scare them, but only to emphasize the power of prayer and its ability to heal.
The Facebook post came on the heels of the news of Dolly’s Las Vegas residency postponement, where she noted in the announcement that the change came due to doctors’ advice on her health.
The world can certainly not wait to have Dolly Parton back on stage!
