Due to unforeseen circumstances, Merle Haggard canceled his performances in April with Willie Nelson & Family. He received doctor’s orders to complete his recovery from double pneumonia by continuing to rest.
“I want to thank my fans for their prayers and well wishes. I hope to be back on the road in May, but I’m taking it one day at a time,” Haggard said.
The Willie Nelson & Family tour will continue with special guests Jamey Johnson and Ryan Bingham.
The change in the lineup is bittersweet, as concert promoters were looking forward to seeing the two classic country stars share the stage, but the addition of not one, but two award-winning artists make this evening something unexpectedly special.
