Radar reveals celebrities who have faced health problems in 2026

After a series of health scares, Dolly Parton once again sparked concern among fans when she announced the postponement of her Las Vegas residency.

“I’m here to give you an update on some things going on in my life,” she shared on Instagram on May 4. “And I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that I am responding very well to medications and treatments, and getting better every day.”

The Jolene singer, who previously suffered from kidney stones, continued: “The bad news is that it will take a while before I get to the stage level. Because some medications and treatments make me a little swim-headed, as my grandma used to say. And of course, I can’t get dizzy carrying around banjos, guitars and the like in two-inch heels.”

“But when they opened the hood of this old antique one, they realized that I had to rebuild my engine and my transmission is slipping, my oil pan is leaking, my muffler is broken and my shocks and pistons need to be replaced, and certainly, my spark plugs need to be replaced,” she added. “I know I’m still crazy, but they haven’t said anything about my mental health.”

According to Parton, her immune and digestive systems “went completely haywire over the last few years,” and she hilariously compared herself to a vintage car that “once restored, can be better than ever.”
