The sky has fallen. Down is up. The four horsemen of the apocalypse are rapidly descending towards Earth.
Willie Nelson has stopped smoking weed!
Nelson recently told fans during a sold-out show at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio, Texas that he had no plans to give up touring. But when it comes to addressing his respiratory issues, the 86-year-old icon has come to realize that the best tonic is not necessarily chronic.
“I have abused my lungs quite a bit in the past, so breathing is a little more difficult these days and I have to be careful,” Nelson told KSAT. “I started smoking cedar bark, went from that to cigarettes to whatever. And that almost killed me.”
So he made an unexpected decision.
The situation may seem dire, but the legendary performer seems to be taking the change in good stride.
“I don’t give a [expletive]. I’m here, I’m glad to be here,” Nelson said. “I’m lucky to be here.”
