On Thursday evening, Willie Nelson returned to the stage for his 4th of July Picnic concert in Camden, N.J. After missing several shows due to illness, the singer-songwriter made a triumphant comeback to the music scene at the age of 91.
Nelson’s team shared a video on Instagram of him walking out on stage to a warm reception from fans, with the caption reading “He’s baaacccckkkkk.” The crowd erupted in cheers as Nelson took the mic and began performing more than 20 songs, including classics like “On the Road Again” and “Always on My Mind.”
This appearance marks a special moment for Nelson as he continues to bring his music to audiences around the world. Despite setbacks like canceling performances on his Outlaw Music Festival tour in late June due to health issues, Nelson is still scheduled to join other legendary artists like Bob Dylan, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, John Mellencamp, and Billy Strings on the tour that runs through September 20.
