Although turning 91 years old, Nelson seemed untouchable as he continued to tour and perform. Taking fans on a journey through the past with his extensive discography, the country star proved himself to be among the top names in the genre. But that all changed when he suddenly backed out of a string of performances due to some mysterious illness. And with Nelson canceling more shows, his fellow bandmates are worried this might be their last time to perform with the icon. <a class=\"YsLeY\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=i&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tennessean.com%2Fstory%2Fentertainment%2Fmusic%2F2024%2F07%2F05%2Fwhat-happened-to-willie-nelson-health-concerns-nelsons-outlaw-road-tour%2F74307571007%2F&amp;psig=AOvVaw1hzG-yyYJihbz7ffii1q9-&amp;ust=1720377211400000&amp;source=images&amp;cd=vfe&amp;opi=89978449&amp;ved=0CBIQjRxqFwoTCNCH5tKGk4cDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-ved=\"0CBIQjRxqFwoTCNCH5tKGk4cDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAY\" aria-label=\"Visit The Tennessean\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sFlh5c pT0Scc iPVvYb\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tennessean.com\/gcdn\/authoring\/authoring-images\/2024\/06\/20\/PNAS\/74153816007-94-then-06066-e.jpg?crop=2124,1195,x0,y125&amp;width=660&amp;height=371&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp\" alt=\"What happened to Willie Nelson?

They figure at Willie\u2019s age, this could be their last chance to share a stage with him.\u201d They added, \u201cSadly, the tour didn\u2019t start that way. And given what a hot and stormy summer it\u2019s turning out to be all over the country, you have to wonder how many shows Willie will actually wind up playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although his team promised <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/4-of-the-most-underrated-willie-nelson-albums\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nelson<\/a> would return to the stage, the source explained how age is getting to the star and how his health hasn\u2019t been great for some time. \u201cEven when he\u2019s sick and laid up in bed, he can\u2019t stop talking about how he\u2019s going to get back on stage. He\u2019s got his CBD oils and other remedies for his aches and pains, but it\u2019s clearly not enough, and that\u2019s troubling for his family and friends. His health has been in a bad way for quite a while, and everyone\u2019s worried it will be the death of him if he doesn\u2019t slow down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Outside of fans hoping <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/lukas-nelson-dazzles-at-outlaw-music-festival-with-performance-of-always-on-my-mind\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nelson<\/a> recovers and returns to the stage, his son Lukas Nelson gained praise for seeming to take over for his father. Singing some of Willie\u2019s classic hits, fans consistently discussed how much Lukas sounded like his father while adding his own touch to each song. But with Willie slated to return, it appeared his bandmates are making the most of what could be his last performances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Outlaw Music Festival kicking off a few weeks ago, country music fans rushed at the chance to see Willie Nelson perform live.
