Dolly Parton fans will have to wait a few more months to see the legendary country diva perform tracks from her new album live on tour. Parton had been scheduled to kick off a 13-show tour on February 28 in Minneapolis to support her soon to be released CD Backwoods Barbie. However an unspecified back problem related to her famous breasts has
forced the singer to postpone her North American tour. "Hey,
you try wagging these puppies around a while and see if you don't have
back problems," the down home country superstar said in a statement. According to an AP report, doctors have advised Parton to take up to eight weeks off to recover. "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," Parton added in the statement. Ever
cheerful, Parton also said doctors told her she will be "good as new in
a few weeks, and I can't wait to get back out there." The tour will be rescheduled for late April through May and tickets will be honoured for the new dates.
Dolly Parton is considered as the most successful female country artist in history, with 25 number-one singles and 42 top-10 country albums. This is what makes her popular and loved by thousands of people in US and all around the world. Her great popularity is noticeable while a concert. It becomes so hard to get a ticket and prices become so high. I missed many of her concerts just because of ticket prices. Lately, a friend has recommended me a site where to compare ticket prices for free before booking and I find it a great idea because this way I can look for the lowest prices offered.
