"Parton notes that in recent years she has struggled with her immune and digestive systems. Thankfully, she claims to be responding well to treatment, explaining that her doctors have assured her that "everything I have is treatable, so I'm going to stick with that.""
"The medication she takes makes her "swimmy-headed," making it difficult to perform on stage. "Of course I can't be dizzy carrying banjos, guitars, and such on five-inch heels," she explains. "And you know I'm going to wearing them.""
"Despite the cancellation, Parton says she's still working on her Broadway musical, Dolly: A True Original Musical, which is slated to open in New York in the fall: "Hopefully, sometime, you'll come up to New York and maybe see my show, and I'll see you somewhere down the line.""
""Thank you for standing by me and showing me so much love and support over the past year," she adds. "I've still got some healing to do, but I am on my way!""
