“Over the years I’ve smoked a lot of cigarettes, and I’ve had emphysema and pneumonia four or five times, so my lungs were really screwed up,” Willie said at the time. In October of 2015, Willie Nelson had a stem cell procedure to help him with his breathing problems. Then on Wednesday, August 15th, daughter Paula Nelson posted an older picture of her with her father and said, “ So happy to spend some time with this wonderful human.

“At 86 you gotta make sure everything is running smoothly so you can keep doing 100 + shows a year! He HATES to miss shows because he loves the folks who love him!” “ A lot of folks been asking – spoke to Dad and he’s fine, just going for a check up,” son and frequent tour partner Lukas Nelson tweeted out a few days after the cancellations. All other scheduled tour dates are also a go at the moment. Willie Nelson will resume touring on September 6th in Gilford, NH as one of nine tour dates throughout September as part of the Outlaw Music Festival, as well as his annual Farm Aid benefit on September 21st at the Alpine Valley Music Theater in Wisconsin. But ultimately the cancellations have only affected six dates that Willie had on his calendar in August with Alison Krauss.

“Cancel my tour” seemed pretty fatalistic, and had many fans concerned for the well-being of the 86-year-old country legend. I’ll be back Love, Willie.” The statement came after Willie had been performing at the Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio and was clearly experiencing breathing issues on stage. Willie Nelson had a lot of folks worried when late on August 7th, he released a statement saying, “To my fans, I’m sorry to cancel my tour, but I have a breathing problem that I need to have my doctor check out.
