- Story Text: Country music veteran Willie Nelson was forced to cancel two upcoming shows in Las Vegas on Thursday (January 26) because of a "bad, bad cold."
Nelson, 83, canceled two performances of "Willie Nelson & Family: Vegas on my Mind," scheduled for Saturday (January 28) and Sunday (January 29) at Las Vegas' The Venetian hotel, due to illness, his official Facebook page said.
A publicist for the singer told Reuters that he was suffering from a "bad, bad cold," and that the upcoming performances in Las Vegas on Feb. 1, 3 and 4 were still scheduled and Nelson was expected to attend.
Texas native Nelson is one of the most notable country music artists, with a six-decade career capped by numerous accolades including 11 Grammy Awards and the Kennedy Center Honors. - Copyright Holder: POOL (CAN SELL)
