Willie Nelson is easily one of the most iconic musicians ever, transcending the country genre. Nelson has continuously put out new albums for over five decades, and even at the age of 83, he continues to tour. He shows no sign of stopping.
Music was a part of Nelson’s life from an early age. He was raised by his grandparents who gave him his first guitar when he was six-years-old. The rest is history. Nelson wrote his first song at seven-years-old and was singing in honky tonks at age 13.

Head here for even more fascinating Willie Nelson facts.
Nelson got his start playing with the Cherokee Cowboys before signing with Liberty Records and releasing his first album in 1962. In the ’70s, Nelson released his critically-acclaimed album Redheaded Stranger and became the symbol for “outlaw country.”
He formed The Highwaymen in the mid-1980s with fellow singers Jennings, Kristofferson and Johnny Cash, all outlaws in their own right. Aside from music, Nelson has acted in numerous films and TV shows and has his hands in several businesses.

FLORENCE, S.C. – The Florence Civic Center has announced a new lineup for the May 19 Willie Nelson concert after the unexpected death of the show’s co-headliner, Merle Haggard, in early April.
Kris Kristofferson and a country group called The Strangers, featuring Haggard’s sons, Ben and Noel, will join Nelson on the stage for the show that will now honor Haggard’s legacy.
“Obviously no one could ever replace Merle Haggard,” said Nick Hooker, senior marketing manager at the venue. “That was not the objective. It was to bring in someone of the same stature in more of an honorary role.”
Hooker said he knew the tour was working on some big names that would be appropriate for the concert but did not have confirmation of the new lineup until Thursday afternoon.
“It’s great news. We’re very excited,” he said. “Kris Kristofferson is one of the original outlaws of country music, one of the original members of the Highwaymen just like Willie Nelson.”
Kristofferson is a three-time Grammy-award winner and has recorded 28 albums, including three with Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings as part of the Highwaymen.
Plus, Hooker said, it will be a wonderful experience to have Haggard’s two sons join the lineup in honor of their father.
“I think that is a deeply passionate and wonderful notion that they’re willing to hop on the tour, head to Florence and perform for all of Merle’s fans,” he said.
There was a lot of concern when Haggard died, Hooker said, but fans were considerate of the situation.
“The fans were very patient through this ordeal, and we really appreciate their understanding and their support,” he said.
A very limited number of tickets to the May 19 show are still available. Tickets range from $30 to $55 and can be purchased online at www.florenceciviccenter.com or at the Florence Civic Center box office.

Of course, we’re grateful to Sweetland Amphitheatre for supporting this project and look forward to sending two folks to see Willie Nelson in May.”
