Willie Nelson: Still Not Dead, Still Workin' at 92

Willie Nelson BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Willie Nelson has spent the past few days doing what only a 92 year old country outlaw can do best correcting the record on his own mortality while quietly adding new chapters to a six decade legend. According to Country Living and AOL Willie used Instagram on December 1 to post a tongue in cheek carousel of photos of himself stretched out on a couch with his braids down and the caption If you believe those AI death stories one more time pointed squarely at a fresh wave of AI generated death hoaxes that had him falsely declared gone yet again. Country Living reports that the post was set to his 2017 song Still Not Dead which was originally written to mock exactly these recurring obituaries in error and American Songwriter notes this is at least the second time he has had to swat down AI fabricated hospital images and RIP clickbait in recent months. Hello Magazine adds that friends like Kacey Musgraves and Margo Price jumped into the comments reassuring fans that Willie was very much alive and still winning at dominos over Thanksgiving giving this latest flare up the feel of a goofy family group chat rather than a crisis. On the business and music front Rolling Stone and Country Living remind us that the most biographically significant development looming over these days is his continued late career productivity he released the Merle Haggard tribute set Workin Man Willie Sings Merle just last month and is also pushing a new holiday single Christmas Love Song co written with longtime producer Buddy Cannon a signal that even in his nineties he is still expanding the catalog rather than coasting on it. Rolling Stone and The Hollywood Reporter also highlight his ongoing central role with Farm Aid where he remains a founding face on the 40th anniversary lineup alongside Neil Young John Mellencamp and Bob Dylan cementing his legacy as activist as much as artist. There are scattered unverified blog claims that recent health statements have fans worried but major outlets from American Songwriter to the San Antonio Express News report that Willie himself insists he feels good and is not going anywhere and no reputable source has confirmed any acute new medical crisis so those rumors should be treated as speculation at best.
