Willie Nelson Shares Surprising Health Update At 91

Willie Nelson is a country musician whose impact has been felt across many generations, and guess what, he’s still singing and performing to this very day. How long will he be able to keep it up? We have answers.

Willie Nelson-  Is Not Worried About Dying At All

Willie Nelson is not only a country outlaw, he is one tough cookie. In his Friday Nov. 1 interview, which he did in honor of the release of his 76th solo Studio album and 153rd album overall, ‘Last Leaf on the Tree,’ the 91-year-old got candid about making music at his advanced age.

In his latest chat with Associated Press, he revealed the reason he’s not worried about death at all.
“I’m 91 plus, so, you know, I’m not worried about it. I don’t feel bad. I don’t hurt anywhere. I don’t have any reason to worry about dying,” Nelson said, adding that he takes “pretty good care of myself.”

“And I feel like I’m in pretty good shape physically. Mentally? That’s another story,” he jokingly said.
His latest project arrived with 13 tracks, including two he wrote: “The Ghost” and “Color of Sound.” Nelson penned “Color of Sound” with his son, Micah, 34, who is also credited for writing the song “Wheels.”

If the time to say goodbye to this world does come, Nelson will be proud that he had a good run and was able to make music for as long as he did.

“I had a good time. And I did what I came here to do: make music,” said Nelson on what he’d like to be remembered by.

Last year, the country icon sat down with PEOPLE for his 90th birthday interview and talked about his deep passion for performing.

“I get a lot of fun out of playing for an audience. There’s a great energy exchange there. It’s what keeps me going,” he told the outlet at the time.
