Willie Nelson Cancels Concerts Due to Illness For Second Time in Recent Weeks
While his publicist did not reveal what ails Nelson, she did say that he plans to return to the road for his show at the San Antonio rodeo on Feb. 16.
Well wishes are still very much needed for Willie Nelson as the legendary singer/songwriter has canceled several more shows due to illness.
According to The Associated Press, Nelson’s publicist Elaine Schock has revealed that the singer will have to miss this week’s three-night showcase at Buck Owens Crystal Palace in Bakersfield. While Schock did not reveal what ails Nelson, she did say that he plans to return to the road for his show at the San Antonio rodeo on Feb. 16.
The string of cancellations comes just weeks after Nelson canceled two of five Willie Nelson & Family: Vegas On My Mind shows in Sin City. The statement, posted to his Facebook page, also failed to reveal the illness from which Nelson was recovering.
While he spends some time recuperating, Nelson is preparing for the release of his upcoming album, God’s Problem Child. The album will feature 13 new songs from the singer, including the closing track as a tribute to Nelson’s longtime friend, the late Merle Haggard. God’s Problem Child hits shelves April 28. Fans can pre-order the album on iTunes now.
