Dolly Parton has been forced to miss another event as she continues to grapple with health challenges.
The country music legend, 79, was inducted into the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions' Hall of Fame in a ceremony on Nov. 17 in Orlando, Florida, but was not able to attend.
Parton was inducted into the trade association's hall of fame for her Dollywood theme park. In a video message shared on Dollywood's Instagram page, Parton said she regrets being unable to be there for the event.
"I sure wish I could be with you in person today, but you probably heard that I've been dealing with a few health challenges this fall, and my doctors told me to take it easy for just a little while," she said in the video. "I'm truly sorry I can't be there, but I sure wanted to take the chance to say thank you for this incredible honor."
In September, Parton postponed her upcoming Las Vegas concerts, telling fans she has been "dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures." Parton's sister later sparked concern about the severity of these issues by asking fans to pray for the singer.
