RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Country music legend Willie Nelson will miss two shows in North Carolina this weekend due to health concerns.
Nelson, 91, did not take the stage Friday night in Georgia for the first show of the Outlaw Music Festival tour, of which he is the headliner.
His team released a statement on Instagram, which read in part:
“Willie Nelson has not been feeling well and has been instructed by his doctor to rest for the next four days. He is expected to recover quickly and be able to join us on the Outlaw Music Festival tour next week. In the meantime, Lukas Nelson and the Family Band, along with several guests, will be performing a special set including some of Willie's classics and more.”
The Outlaw Music Festival tour stops in Charlotte on Saturday night and Raleigh on Sunday, and the tour will feature other legendary musicians, including Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, and Alison Krauss.
Nelson is expected to rejoin them next week.
The Outlaw Music Festival tour will conclude in Guilford, New Hampshire on September 20th.
