Posted in music | tour dates on May 6, 2010
Willie Nelson's website reports that, "We regret to inform you Willie Nelson and Family have to cancel or reschedule various upcoming tour dates. At this time, I am told that shows scheduled for May 7th-15th will be affected. Please contact the venue or original ticket agency for additional details." CMT seems to know that "the cancellation was said to be a torn rotator cuff Nelson suffered". If so, Willie might be in some pain at the Grand Ballroom in NYC TONIGHT (5/6) (definitely not cancelled).

So is his Radio City gig still on 7/28?
Posted by Anonymous | May 6, 2010 2:48 PM
Sorry to hear about his injury, but I'm glad tonight isn't cancelled; got a front row seat! Although I guess it would obviously be better to see Willie at full capacity.

isn't it because paul english had a stroke?
Posted by Anonymous | May 6, 2010 3:11 PM
Paul suffered the stroke last week.

Come on dont make fun of weed or think he can run out. Willie is a trooper and has been playing consistently for years obviously.

Willie was great - played for 2.5 hours and there wasn't any sign of a torn rotator cuff or a mention of the postponed dates.
It is funny how the men's room turned into an almost silly "smoking in the boys room" scene.

willie is THE American songbook... cracker jack band, too...
it was a real willie crowd... i think most of them drove their rvs in from branson... and the show was broadcast live over sirus...

If that's the way a 77 year old man with a torn rotator cuff performs, I shudder to think what the guy's like minus the injury. Two-plus hours, flawless inspired guitar playing, a voice as strong as any performer in his 40s, and slapped every hand in the front row after his encore. Great crowd too .. very vocal, dancing in the aisles and an informal, comfortable venue.
There are only so many legends left, not to mention legends still playing at the top of their game in to their 70s. No fears in 'losing his chops' due to lack of being on the road. Do yourself a favor and get out to see this guy ..
