Willie Nelson faced health problems and missed the first shows of his Outlaws and a source exclusively tells Closer that his band is worried about the musician.

Beloved country star Willie Nelson canceled performances on his Outlaw Music Festival tour, sparking new fears for the 91-year-old guitar strummer. Just hours before the tour’s June 21 kickoff, Willie was feeling ill and bowed out due to “doctor’s orders.” The show went on without him, with his son Lukas Nelson and the Family Band playing a lot of the long-haired legend’s classics. The singer has canceled numerous shows in recent years due to various ailments, including bouts of pneumonia and a long-running battle with emphysema.
