While Willie, 91, did not reveal the nature of his ailment, he did share with fans that he’ll be unable to take the stage for days.

“We regret to inform you that Willie Nelson is not feeling well and, per doctor’s orders, has been advised to rest for the next four days,” the statement began.

“He is expected to make a quick recovery and join the Outlaw Music Festival tour next week. In the meantime, Lukas Nelson and the Family Band, along with a few guests, will perform a special set to include Willie’s classics and other songs.”

The statement went on, “Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, & Alison Krauss and Celisse will continue to perform as scheduled.”

Fans in the comments expressed concern and sent well-wishes to the musician.
