Country music icon Willie Nelson, aged 91, has canceled another concert appearance, this time skipping a scheduled performance in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This follows his absence from three previous concert dates last week, including the opening night of the Outlaw Music Festival in Alpharetta, Georgia on June 21. Nelson also missed subsequent shows in Charlotte on June 22 and Raleigh on June 23.
A statement posted on Nelson’s social media platforms on Wednesday confirmed the cancellation: “Willie Nelson will not be performing at tonight’s show in Virginia Beach. We expect Willie to return to the tour shortly.”
Nelson, a 12-time Grammy Award winner, was part of a lineup that includes Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Alison Krauss, and Celisse, all scheduled to perform in Virginia Beach. The tour’s next scheduled stop is set for Friday in Syracuse, New York, according to Nelson’s official website.
Throughout his career, Nelson has achieved remarkable success with 25 singles and 18 albums reaching No. 1 on the Billboard country charts. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November and entered the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1993.
