Willie's family suffered a tremendous loss with the death of his sister, Bobbie, on March 10. Bobbie was a member of Willie's band, playing the piano and singing, and traveled with her brother for more than 50 years.
During an interview on The Today Show in 2020, Willie said Bobbie was "10 times a better musician than I am."
Nelson recently canceled some of his shows due to COVID-19 concerns, but he's still slated to play at the Moody Center's official grand opening show with George Strait and the Randy Rogers Band in April, and of course at the Luck Reunion.
Luck Presents has a full weekend of shows booked at the venue following Luck Reunion. Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit is scheduled for Friday and Shakey Graves will play Saturday.
