Willie was supposed to tour with Merle Haggard as part of their 2015 Django and Jimmie Tour, but the medical concerns are too serious to ignore. Willie Nelson needs our prayers, now!
“We have just been informed that Willie Nelson has a medical issue and will be rescheduling the first half of his tour dates,” states Nick Hooker, senior marketing manager for the Florence Civic Center in Florence, S.C., where Nelson and Haggard were scheduled to kick off their tour on Thursday (Oct. 15). “We know this is last-minute, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, but our hearts and best wishes go to Willie Nelson and his family during this time of health concern.”[…]
Nelson’s rep has confirmed the news to The Boot, noting that in addition to the Florence show, Nelson and Haggard’s concerts in Roanoke, Va., on Oct. 16 at Berglund Center Coliseum, and in Reading, Pa., on Oct. 17 at Santander Arena, will be affected. She confirmed that the rest of their tour is on schedule, and had no additional details as to Nelson’s health issue.

#1,there is NO date on this article & the dates they do mention are from last year. So is this just an old article someone pulled up? IDK
I think to be 82 and still performing he has done pretty well for himself. There is so much negativity in the world. Everyone has to fuss and complain about everything. Just pray for the man.
I like how the comments here are trying to blame marijuana for his health problems. Forget the fact the medical marijuana has 34 cures to cancer, helps turrets syndrome, seizures, chrones disease, epilepsy, and the list goes on. The man is in his 80’s and you all act like age isn’t a factor. One of his guitarists just died of heart attack at 71. If smoking weed gets me to my 80’s then bring on the legalization so I can smoke it too. How many of you have relatives his age that can carry on like he does? Get real.
He needs a change of life style that includes proper nutrition, daily gross motor exercise, eight hours of sleep nightly, and no cigarettes or whiskey.
Forget the prayers since he and not God is responsible for his poor health.
All that pot smoking finally caught up with him
I]LL PRAY FR HIM AND ALL THE PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET MAY GOD BLESS WILLIE AND HIS FAMILY.
I thought pot was a cure all why is he sick?
I just saw Willie in concert last night in concert in Miami OK at Buffalo Run Casino….He’s obviously touring again.
Excellent point! Thank you!!
Not really surprising. All the years of heavy drinking and pot smoking have finally caught up to him. Want to know about a real tragedy? 22 veterans/active duty service members commit suicide everyday. That’s a tragedy!!!
He has been a handful but has alwaysed loved and respected God and America. Bless your very Soul Mr. Nelson and thank you for everything you have given US.
Willie. You are the wind beneath my wings! Get better quicker!!!!
I’ve been a fan of yours forever my thoughts and prayers for you Please recover
