Willie Nelson is missing another Outlaw Music Festival Tour date as he recovers from an unspecified illness.
The 91-year-old has canceled his Wednesday night (June 26) appearance in Virginia Beach, Va. The show will still proceed with Bob Dylan, Alison Krauss and Robert Plant.
- The Outlaw Music Festival Tour opened on June 21, but Nelson had to miss the first weekend on “doctor’s orders.”
- Language on his social media pages indicated a non-serious illness that he could recover from quickly.
- Lukas Nelson and Family will once again step in for Willie Nelson tonight.
Response to Nelson’s social media messages show considerable concern for his long-term health. Fans held their breath last week as he started with, “We regret to inform you …” before sharing he was sick.
“I don’t know how many more of these posts I can handle. I panic each time” shares one fan on Instagram after Wednesday’s announcement.
“My heart keeps dropping at these omg,” says another.
The new note states that Nelson is expected to return to the tour shortly. That could be as soon as Friday, when he’s set to play the first of three straight shows. In fact, he has seven concerts scheduled over 10 days to start July.
Nelson experiences emphysema and, surprisingly, quit partaking in maryjane in 2019. Breathing issues have kept him from the stage on a few events over the past 10 years, but on the other hand he’s had times of supported unrecorded music.
The Fugitive Live performance Visit goes through September. Nelson’s most up to date online entertainment posts uncover that Lukas Nelson and exceptional visitors will play a few of his hits.
