Willie Nelson discusses why he hasn’t stopped touring even at 90.

Willie Nelson has been captivating audiences for nearly six decades and shows no signs of stopping.

As he approaches his 90th birthday, the legendary musician remains as dedicated as ever, producing new music and ensuring his fans can experience his live performances.

Nelson, who kicked off his major music career with Liberty Records in 1962, plans to celebrate his 90th birthday by touring. He shared his thoughts in a recent AARP interview, noting that although he doesn’t need to work, it benefits him.

“Working is really good for me, no matter the show type,” he mentioned.

He looks forward to his shows, especially when friends join him on stage for a song or two, making it an enjoyable experience.

The enduring appeal of entertainers like Dick Van Dyke (97), Michael Caine (89), and David Attenborough (96) highlights the trend of artists continuing their craft into later years. However, live music tours, like Nelson’s, demand a different level of energy and commitment.

Despite nearing his 90s, Nelson’s ability to maintain a busy touring schedule and put on remarkable performances is impressive.
