Uncover essential details about Dolly Parton Will No Longer Be Touring Her Music.

Thankfully for her droves of fans, Dolly isn't exactly retiring from music as a whole. However, she did recently share that she will no longer be touring as she wants to focus on her family.

"I do not think I will ever tour again, but I do know I'll do special shows here and there, now and then," Dolly said in a recent interview with Pollstar. "Maybe do a long weekend of shows, or just a few shows at a festival. But I have no intention of going on a full-blown tour anymore."

At 76 years old, Dolly is looking to spend her time now with those that she loves the most.

"I like to stay a little closer to home with my husband. We're getting older now, and I don't want to be gone for four or five weeks at a time. Something could happen," she told the publication of her worries, adding, "I would not feel right about that."

For context, Dolly has not been on tour since 2016. Back then, she embarked on a 60-city jaunt across the U.S. and Canada. Dubbed the "Pure and Simple Tour," it became her largest North American tour in over 25 years.
