Willie Nelson Turns 93, Marks Birthday on Two Dates

He stays on the road at 93 with a new album due May 29.

Overview

  • Nelson turns 93 and keeps a two-day birthday tradition because his Abbott, Texas birth was recorded one day late.
  • He says he arrived before midnight on April 29, and a next-day filing made April 30 the official date he also celebrates.
  • His next album, Dream Chaser, is scheduled for May 29 and features a collaboration with Bob Dylan.
  • He continues to perform live in 2026, including a May 14 homecoming show at Baylor University’s Magnolia Field.
  • He credits simple daily exercises like sit-ups, arm rolls, leg lifts, and jogging in place for staying fit, and his current work follows a legacy that includes launching Farm Aid in 1985.
