Dolly forced to postpone tour

A back problem has forced Dolly Parton to postpone a concert tour she planned in support of her new CD.

Parton was scheduled to kick off a 13-show tour on February 28 in Minneapolis, but doctors have advised the singer to take up to eight weeks off to recover.

Parton, 62, said in a statement she will be "as 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 and May.
