Country music legend Willie Nelson continues his American tour at the age of 90 with his band,

the Nelson Family Band, showing his undying devotion to the art of music. However, last year he faced health problems that affected him and his team.

During the tour, Nelson had to make the difficult decision to cancel his performance at the Jazz Festival. It was revealed that a member of the Willie Nelson Family Band tested positive for Covid-19. Ironically, it was later revealed that Nelson had also contracted the virus.

Nelson wakes up on his tour bus in the middle of the night, struggling to breathe and faced with a terrifying situation. A rapid PCR test confirmed his fears: He was indeed infected with Covid-19. Considering his age, his condition was very bad because he caught the virus.

Willie’s wife, Annie, shared the steps they took to help him recover. “There was a nebulizer on the bus. At that time I started taking everything I could, including Paxlovid. He had monoclonal antibodies. He was using steroids. ‘ he told national television. They turned their home in Spicewood, Texas, into a makeshift hospital and forced the entire medical department to monitor his health.

The road to recovery was difficult, but after six days Nelson found the strength to return to the podium. Just two weeks later he continued his tour in New Braunfels, Texas. His perseverance and determination were admirable.

Despite all these attempts, Annie admits that there were times when she wasn’t sure she could make it. “There were a few moments when I wasn’t sure he was going to make it,” he recalled of those uncertain times. But Nelson remained true to nature and retained his marketing acumen, saying: “Covid is no joke, that’s for sure.” His ability to laugh and deal with challenges is a testament to his strong character.

After the shocking COVID scare, Willie Nelson and his family are still touring and showing their determined spirit. In September, they performed at the 2022 Farm Aid Music Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina, where they shared the stage with an incredible lineup of artists including John Mellencamp, Margo Price, Chris Stapleton, and Sheryl Crow.

Willie Nelson is not only an icon of country music, but also an example of perseverance and determination to many. Despite the challenges he faced, he remained true to his passion and brought joy and music to everyone in the country.
