JAKARTA - Unpleasant news comes from country music legend, Dolly Parton. The diva who is synonymous with a glamorous appearance officially announced the cancellation of her Las Vegas concert residency which was scheduled for September.
The decision was made because Parton still had to focus on the process of recovering her health condition which did not allow her to get on stage in the near future.
Through a video uploaded on Instagram recently, the singer of "Jolene" said that although his condition was gradually improving thanks to regular treatment, he still often felt side effects such as dizziness or a sense of floating.
Even so, Parton still showed her typical humorous side when explaining why she couldn't force herself to perform in front of her loyal fans at Caesars Palace.
"Of course, I can't get dizzy when I have to carry a banjo, guitar, and other equipment while wearing five-inch high heels - and you know yourself that I will definitely keep wearing them," said Parton.
"Not to mention the heavy costumes full of gemstones, the hair that is stuffed high, and my big 'personality'. Oh God, all of that will definitely make anyone feel dizzy," he added.
Dolly Parton was originally scheduled to perform six times at Caesars Palace starting last December. However, due to unspecified health issues, the schedule was shifted to September this year before it was finally decided to be canceled entirely.
Parton admitted that she still needed a long time before she was physically ready to perform an energetic stage performance.
"I'm really sorry to have to miss the meeting with all of you who have tickets to see me in Las Vegas. Alright, you guys still go to Vegas and have fun there. I'll see you another time," he said.
The residency titled "Dolly: Live in Las Vegas" was originally projected to be Parton's big comeback after last performing a series of "Pure & Simple" tours in 2016.
The management and organizers at Caesars Palace itself are said to have provided full support for Parton's decision in favor of the star's recovery priorities.
