Parton shared that while she can continue working on projects from her Nashville home, she needs \"a little time to get show ready, as they say.\"

In the statement, Parton also reassured fans she has no plans to retire.

\"And don't worry about me quittin' the business because God hasn't said anything about stopping yet,\" the statement added. \"But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you. I love you and thank you for understanding.\"

The postponement delays what would have been Parton's first extended Las Vegas run in 32 years.

Announced in June, the residency titled, \"Dolly: Live in Las Vegas,\" was scheduled to coincide with the National Finals Rodeo, with six concerts set for Dec. 4-13.

According to a press release, the \"hit-driven concert event\" was planned to feature seven decades of classics and fan favorites, including \"9 to 5,\" \"Jolene,\" \"I Will Always Love You,\" and \"Coat of Many Colors.\"
