The other artists on the schedule, including Celisse, Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, and Alison Kraus, went on as scheduled.
“Willie is going to be alright. Seeing the performances on the east coast is something I will be traveling for next week; I live in Los Angeles. Nelson’s representative sent out a statement that read, “I am excited.”
On the website for the tour, Nelson stated, “This year’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour promises to be the biggest and best yet with this lineup of legendary artists. I am thrilled to get back on the road again with my family and friends playing the music we love for the fans we love.”
When Nelson turned 90 years old in April of last year, he told news he was excited to commemorate the occasion by going on tour.
