Willie Nelson Cancels Concerts

Willie Nelson Cancels Concerts to Undergo Surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The Associated Press

ERIE, Pa. May 11, 2004 — Willie Nelson has canceled concerts for the next two months to have surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, a promoter said.

The 71-year-old country-western star, whose hits include "Whiskey River" and "On the Road Again," was apparently in so much pain he couldn't finish a show Saturday in Las Vegas.

"Willie Nelson will have surgery to relieve extreme pain caused by carpal tunnel syndrome," Carlos Larraz, a promoter with National Artists Corp, said Monday.

Nelson had ten concerts scheduled for the remainder of May and June, including an appearance at the three-day Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tenn., beginning June 11.

I've seen Willie Nelson six times at the last few Farm Aids and was very much looking forward to seeing Willie in another concert setting.

I received an e-mail today from bonnaroo.com saying that the performance schedule is up, but it is not. Hopefully it will be up soon so I can see if I can attend both Bob Dylan and Wilco.
