Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been making headlines after postponing her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency due to health challenges, a move that instantly sparked concern and a wave of support from fans across the globe. According to her own statement shared on social media and widely reported on ITV News and Country Living, Dolly revealed she needed to undergo a series of unspecified medical procedures, joking that it was time for her 100,000-mile checkup—though she assured fans with her trademark wit that it was not her usual trip to the plastic surgeon. The original slate of six sold-out performances at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which would have marked her first extended Vegas run in over three decades, was scheduled for December 2025. These shows have now been rescheduled for September 2026, with Parton making it clear tickets would be honored or refunded for those who can't make the new dates.The news of her postponement came right after she missed a major event at Dollywood, her iconic Tennessee theme park, due to a flare-up of kidney stones. WHNT News 19 and several entertainment outlets emphasized there was no specific diagnosis given beyond the need for recovery time, and Dolly herself reassured her devoted following that she is not quitting show business. She cited advice from her doctors and a personal sense that she should slow down temporarily, but with her usual optimism, she promised, "God hasn't said anything about stopping yet," highlighting her intention to keep working on her many projects from Nashville. Speculation about her future quickly appeared on social media, but Dolly dampened any rumors of retirement, insisting she has big adventures ahead—a message that trended widely on X and Instagram as fans poured in thousands of get-well messages and memes celebrating her resilience.Beyond her current health focus, Dolly continues to expand her business portfolio. Features in Forbes and IMDb have spotlighted her towering $450 million net worth and highlighted the growth of her “Doggy Parton” pet line, new Duncan Hines baking mixes, and her ever-popular Dollywood properties. In August, she received special attention from the Guinness Book of World Records with an "icon" certificate, putting her in league with Beyoncé and Sir Paul McCartney. Even during this pause from live performance, Dolly's brand and legendary catalog remain at the heart of country music, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship, her career far from finished—as she says, just resting up for the next act.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been front and center in both headlines and hearts over the past week, even as she balanced personal moments and a packed professional schedule. According to Parade, Dolly sat down with Reba McEntire for a warmly candid TalkShopLive interview released September 25, where she reminisced with poignant humor about her late husband Carl Dean, who passed away six months ago. Dolly recalled a rare moment when Carl, who famously shunned the spotlight throughout their six-decade marriage, joined her for an impromptu performance at the Kentucky State Fair. She described the memory as “so out of character for him” and laughed about how the prank unraveled onstage—with Dolly even jokingly telling security she didn't know him, until her road manager intervened.A major headline from AOL announced Dolly's Las Vegas return later this year: she's set for six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December, marking her first extended residency there in 32 years. “To say I'm excited would be an understatement,” Dolly said in her statement, making clear her enthusiasm for reconnecting with fans in Vegas. The concerts, appropriately titled “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas,” promise seven decades of hits and a setlist fans have dreamt about, along with VIP packages for some up-close Dolly moments. This run coincides with the National Finals Rodeo, turning Vegas into a true Parton-palooza.Meanwhile, Dolly has not just been performing—she's been the subject of a musical about her life, “Dolly: A True Original Musical,” which opened in Nashville in January and is reportedly eyeing Broadway, according to Playbill and AOL. For fans of orchestral music, her multimedia production “Threads: My Songs in Symphony” continues its national tour, bringing Dolly's classics to the concert stage with a symphonic twist—in fact, she headlined in Indianapolis on September 20.The week was not without health-related speculations. People and IMDb reported that Dolly missed the highly anticipated announcement for Dollywood's newest ride due to kidney stone recovery, causing a ripple of concern among fans. Dolly addressed her absence cheerfully in a video message, promising she was with everyone “in spirit” and expected to be back in action soon.Book lovers, mark November 11 on your calendar. “Star of the Show: My Life on Stage”—Dolly's third photographic memoir—drops soon. Reba McEntire called Dolly “her hero” during their livestreamed chat, raving about Dolly's generosity, wit, and authenticity. The pair traded decades of stories, reinforcing their mutual admiration in a conversation that felt like a masterclass on both friendship and show business.Social media buzz has been lively, too. Dolly's enduring impact was referenced in a viral tweet picked up by HuffPost Women, joking about how “it's getting harder and harder to tumble out of bed, stumble into my kitchen to pour a cup of ambition every day,” a playful nod to her “9 to 5” lyrics that perfectly captures her crossover into everyday pop culture.So whether she's sparking Vegas fever, sharing deeply personal stories, celebrating her own journey in new artistic ways, or trending in meme form, Dolly Parton remains a force whose every move resonates far beyond country music. Onward with rhinestones, resilience, and remarkable grace—this week's Dolly headlines are, as always, pure gold.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has dominated headlines this week in a flurry of news and business activity, though much of the attention has centered around her recent health scare and absence from Dollywood. On September 17, Dolly was forced to cancel her long-anticipated public appearance at Dollywood due to a kidney stone that led to an infection, a setback the star shared candidly in a heartfelt video to fans. She explained that her doctor had advised her to stay home and recover, missing the unveiling of the new Night Flight Expedition ride—one she excitedly described as Dollywood's most expensive attraction ever. Dolly was quick to reassure everyone that she's on the mend and had high hopes to get back in front of her audiences soon, adding her familiar blend of optimism and wit. According to Parade and Taste of Country, the cancellation was widely discussed on social media, where a clip of Dolly's message circulated and fans poured out their well-wishes. Her presence in spirit was palpable—no surprise given her history of unwavering fan engagement and transparency during difficult times.Beyond the immediate health update, Dolly's name has been trending with other significant mentions. Just days ago, Marathon County announced the launch of a new Imagination Library program tied to Dolly's foundation, cementing her long-standing legacy in children's literacy. This expansion comes as Dolly's total donated books to children climbs well past 100 million—a biographical milestone that is almost without parallel in celebrity philanthropy. AOL and Business Insider have been busy chronicling Dolly's staggering financial empire, recently updating estimations of her net worth at about $450 million and breaking down her business interests, from Dollywood and Splash Country to her home goods lines and “Doggy Parton” pet apparel, all of which continue to bolster her profile as one of the world's savviest entertainers and entrepreneurs.Public appearances remain limited, given her recent bereavement—Dolly's husband of six decades, Carl Dean, passed away in March. Media outlets, including Parade, have reflected on her resilience and loneliness in the wake of his loss, with family members sharing rare, never-before-seen photos that have contributed to the outpouring of support and nostalgia across Dolly's official social media channels. Notably, tribute shows and symphonic tributes in her honor are still running strong in venues from Indianapolis to the UK, emphasizing her enduring cultural significance.On the business front, Dolly's theme parks and branded lines show no signs of slowing, despite rumors of fiscal tightening in the regional entertainment market. The major headline remains her absence at Dollywood—her signature public stage—and her assurance that she'll bounce back soon. There is no credible confirmation of other rumors or speculative business moves beyond what has been released publicly. If one thing rings true from the past week, it's that Dolly Parton's impact continues to span entertainment, philanthropy, and business, unfaltering even as she recovers behind the scenes.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been at the center of several major headlines this week, ranging from business news and festival updates to health stories and notable community impacts. The biggest current story is her unexpected absence at Dollywood's highly anticipated September 17 announcement, where the park unveiled plans for NightFlight Expedition, a $50 million ride opening in 2026. According to the Dollywood Instagram and reports from Disney Dining and multiple outlets, Dolly was slated to attend but canceled the night before due to a change in her schedule. Her absence sparked immediate speculation, especially since her public appearances are usually a staple at these events. Later in the day, Parton recorded a heartfelt video message for fans explaining she was unable to travel because of a recent infection, with some outlets like 973 WRDB saying it was due to a kidney stone infection. AOL and other entertainment sources echoed that recent health issues forced her to remain home, underscoring the long-term significance given her age and the ongoing demands of her commitments.The Dollywood announcement itself dominated local coverage, as the NightFlight Expedition is described as the resorts largest investment yet and will blend land, water, and air for a night-time ride through the Smokies. In Parton's statement released by Knox News, she said she was proud of Dollywood's growth over 40 years and her focus remains on families visiting the park. On social media, Dollywood's channels shared the update about her absence and featured highlights from the Harvest Festival, which opened September 12 and kicked off the fall season in her signature, homespun style.Separately, Parton's business footprint in Nashville continues to broaden. The Tennessean reports a new lease deal is advancing between the city and the developer behind her SongTeller Hotel, with the city poised to add a new fire station as part of the agreement, further cementing her impact on the local skyline.Musically, Dolly's new “Threads: My Songs in Symphony” project continues to make news after its May 21 announcement. Variety details that it will premiere in 2025 with the Nashville Symphony, offering a multimedia orchestral experience featuring her music and narrative. This marks her most significant foray into live music since retiring from touring, promising long-term influence on her legacy.Finally, in civic news, Capitol Buzz reports a bittersweet note: Dolly's Imagination Library lost its state funding in Washington, a development seen as a “heartbreaking loss” given the program's national reach and her efforts for early childhood literacy.This mix of business expansion, creative ventures, health updates, and community headlines keeps Dolly Parton in the national conversation and reinforces her status as one of America's most beloved—and busiest—icons.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Earlier this year, the park released a new documentary on their YouTube channel (and in syndication in their local television market) called "The Dollywood Dream."In just 40:00 - a clever easter egg, if you will - Director Devin Olson of Devin Olson Media (a familiar name to longtime Coaster101 readers) weaves a tale that talks about the park's past, present, and even touches on the future. We're joined by Devin and Dollywood's Vice President of Marketing Public Relations (and Executive Producer of "The Dollywood Dream!") Pete Owens to learn more about what went into the documentary, the stories that might have been left on the cutting room floor, and even a quick hint at what Dolly and the park have up their sleeves in 2026. Watch the documentary here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO0x0OoW1usYou can connect with the show by hitting us up on social media @Coaster101: Facebook  |  Twitter  |  Instagram.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has had a vibrant week full of significant moves that will resonate throughout her ever-expanding legacy. The biggest headline is her new duet with Zac Brown Band, “Butterfly,” which dropped on September 5 alongside a “deeply moving” official music video and immediately set country music circles abuzz. Zac Brown, speaking about the collaboration, said recording with Dolly was a lifelong dream—her interpretation brought “so much heart and soul” to this heartfelt track written as a tribute to his kids. Fans have called them an “iconic duo,” flooding social media with admiration for their chemistry and hoping for a possible live performance this December, since both Dolly and Zac will be in Las Vegas for their own high-profile residencies. The new song is part of Zac Brown Band's upcoming album “Love & Fear,” arriving December 5, with the band launching an immersive series of concerts at Sphere in Las Vegas the very same day, already stirring conversations in entertainment media and fans alike. Beyond music, Dolly continues to innovate on the business front. Tell Media reports she has disrupted the weight loss industry with a new venture touted for its quick results and her personal passion for helping those who struggle with health and body image. While the specific medical details are still under wraps, her public statements have already ruffled industry feathers and put her in the headlines as a pioneering businesswoman willing to take risks—though more specifics and third-party validations are still pending, so this is one for the “developing story” file.Not to be outdone on the philanthropic side, Dolly's Imagination Library remains as active as ever, expanding into Shasta County, California this week, bringing her signature literacy program to more families. The rollout was marked by local events and lots of regional press, reinforcing her deep and ongoing cultural impact well beyond entertainment.Earlier in the week, Dolly confirmed via multiple outlets that while she is retired from traditional touring, she is hardly leaving the stage. Starting in 2025, she will launch “Threads: My Songs in Symphony,” an innovative multimedia symphonic storytelling experience in partnership with Schirmer Theatrical and Sony Music Publishing. The tour's kickoff with the Nashville Symphony this March promises to introduce her classic hits and life stories to whole new audiences, all orchestrated in lush, inventive new arrangements.Lastly, Dolly's status as a business and entertainment powerhouse is cemented by CEOWorld Magazine's updated global ranking, which lists her as one of the world's ten richest female singers, with a net worth of $650 million, driven by successful ventures like Dollywood, a massive song catalog, and constant reinvention. No whispers of scandal, just a week of headlines that show Dolly Parton remains as dynamic and relevant as ever.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

In the most headline-grabbing development, Dolly just released a new single called Broken Angels, collaborating with bluegrass band The Grascals. The track doesn't shy away from tough themes—addiction and recovery—and marks the debut single from The Grascals' upcoming album, highlighting Dolly's commitment to social issues that affect real people. She co-wrote the song with Jamie Johnson from The Grascals, reinforcing their two-decade-long partnership. Both fans and critics agree the song speaks to Dolly's relevance in contemporary bluegrass and country, and Bluegrass Today and HERE Bristol confirm the single is already making waves.Meanwhile, public appearances took a bittersweet turn in late August when Dolly was expected to make a splash in Bozeman, Montana, celebrating the two-year milestone of her Imagination Library's statewide expansion. The event, hosted by First Lady of Montana Susan Gianforte, was packed with fans decked out in Parton-inspired fashion, but unfortunately Dolly was sidelined by an ear infection. Nevertheless, she sent a warm video message and shared her hopes to reschedule. Governor Gianforte and country singer Stephanie Quayle kept spirits high, even as Dolly's absence was palpable. Local Montana press covered the event extensively, championing the library's impact, as nearly one in every two children in the state now receives a free monthly book thanks to Dolly's philanthropic vision.On the business and legacy front, Dolly is stoking anticipation for her upcoming Life of Many Colors Museum, slated to open in 2026 within her new SongTeller Hotel in Nashville.

The hotel promises to be a must-visit destination for music lovers, with regular sneak peeks fueling excitement across her Instagram and official channels. This museum will operate alongside the Journey of a Seeker exhibit honoring Dolly at the Country Music Hall of Fame, a blockbuster success since opening this spring, with media and fanfare peaking after Dolly herself turned heads at the May 19 preview in a stunning all-pink outfit.In major entertainment news, Dolly is set to roll out a multimedia symphonic storytelling tour called Threads: My Songs in Symphony, set to debut with the Nashville Symphony in March 2025. Variety and AOL broke the story, noting how Dolly will guide audiences via on-screen narration, as orchestras and guest vocalists reimagine her catalog—essentially, a new chapter in her stage career without the grueling pace of road tours.Social media, as always, has been ablaze with Dolly content—from viral fan tributes to replays of her uplifting message to Montana, to Instagram teases of her new museum. Fan engagement soared during the late-summer costume events and museum sneak peeks, while coverage of her growing business empire appeared in outlets like Country Music Alley. Worth mentioning: her net worth now hovers around $750 million thanks to her relentless creativity, brand expansions, and ever-popular Dollywood.In sum, Dolly Parton remains at the very center of music, culture, and philanthropy, as every new headline affirms her status as both an enduring icon and a woman who just keeps rewriting her own fabulous story.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

If enacted, the bill could lead to frivolous lawsuits against hairdressers who cut a trans teen's hair, teachers who use a student's chosen name, and nonprofits that offer support.
