Willie Nelson ‘s team has provided fans with another update on the country star’s health after he was forced to cancel a number of recent performances.
After missing several shows while touring for the Outlaw Music Festival last week, Nelson’s team uploaded another statement on social media to share that the musician would be unable to play the show scheduled in Virginia Beach, Va. on Wednesday, June 26.
“Willie Nelson will not be performing at tonight’s show in Virginia Beach,” read the statement posted to Nelson’s official Instagram account on Wednesday, providing a glimmer of hope as it added, “We expect Willie to return to the tour shortly.”
In the meantime, fans will still get a taste of Nelson’s music as Lukas Nelson and Family, along with some special guests, will be performing a set to “include Willie’s classics and other songs.”
The other artists on the tour, including Bob Dylan , Robert Plant , Alison Krauss and Celisse , are expected to “perform as scheduled,” according to the statement.
