Dolly Parton forced to postpone Sin City residency, Tyler Rich vs. grizzly bear | Music City Minute

Over the weekend, Dolly Parton released a statement informing fans that her upcoming Las Vegas residency has been postponed due to health concerns. The “9 to 5” singer goes on to say she has a couple procedures scheduled that will require a lot of recovery time, and no, it’s not her usual trip to the plastic surgeon. The country legend was originally booked to perform at the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in early December. All of those dates have now been pushed to September of next year.
Popular California country artist Tyler Rich opened up about almost being mauled by a bear. Rich explains the incident happened during an anniversary trip to Yellowstone National Park. The singer and his wife were riding ATVs through a wooded area when a “Volkswagen-sized” grizzly bear and her cubs stopped them in their tracks. Fortunately, the bear family escaped deeper into the forest. Unfortunately, it was the exact same direction of the ATV trail. Thankfully, Tyler Rich and his wife made it out unharmed and didn’t experience any other large animal encounters during their vacation.
