Willie Nelson Cancels Outlaw Music Festival Shows on ‘Doctor’s Orders’

Country music legend Willie Nelson canceled several appearances at the traveling Outlaw Music Festival on “doctor’s orders.”

The 91-year-old singer behind such hits as “On The Road Again” and “Seven Spanish Angels” missed a performance in Alpharetta, Georgia, and will also sit out two North Carolina stops in Raleigh and Charlotte. Nelson’s team expects him to rejoin the festival next week. “This year’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour promises to be the biggest and best yet with this lineup of legendary artists,” Nelson said of this year’s lineup on the festival’s website. “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.”

Nelson recently shared a duet with gay, masked country singer Orville Peck in honor of Pride Month. The pair covered Ned Sublette’s queer country classic “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other” for Peck’s forthcoming duets album, Stampede.
