unlike Angus Andrew, Dolly Parton postpones tour
alternate title: Dolly Parton's back finally gives up
DOLLY PARTON has been forced to postpone her upcoming U.S. tour due to a back condition. Doctors have advised the iconic American singer, songwriter, film star and entrepreneur to take six to eight weeks off in order to recover properly.The postponed NYC show is at Radio City Music Hall. That also means she won't be at SXSW, and this comes after she already cancelled those three intimate club shows (because of a pushed back record release date or something).
The tour--in support of DOLLY's BACKWOODS BARBIE album, due out February 26 on Dolly Records--was set to kick off February 28 in Minneapolis, MN. DOLLY apologizes to all her fans for this inconvenience and hopes that her fans will be patient until the dates can be rescheduled for late April through May. Tickets will be honored for the new dates.
In a statement, DOLLY said: "I know I have been breaking my neck and bending over backwards trying to get my new Backwoods Barbie CD and world tour together, but I didn't mean to hurt myself doing it! But hey, you try wagging these puppies around a while and see if you don't have back problems. Seriously though, the doctors said I will be good as new in a few weeks, and I can't wait to get back out there. See you soon, Dolly."
In the meantime, Angus Andrew (also injured in the back area) and his band Liars keep moving along.

Why would Dolly Parton ever have back problems?

She referred to her breasts as "Puppies".
I LOVE DOLLY!!! (though i've never met her puppies)
