What an incredible moment! Witnessing Dr. James Allison performing on stage with Willie Nelson was a total surprise, as tweeted by Luis Valencia on March 5, 2020.
During his recent concert at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, Willie Nelson, known for his down-to-earth nature, once again showed his genuine human side. Alongside his son, he delivered a tender rendition of ‘Always On My Mind’ before 70,000 fans for Armed Forces Appreciation night, as reported by KSat.
The concert had already amazed the audience, but there was something about the way Willie performed this particular song that elevated the evening to a whole new level. Touched by the response, the fans rose as one, giving him a standing ovation. Despite his extensive experience and numerous concerts, Willie remained deeply moved when his fans showed their appreciation. He didn’t take their goodwill for granted and kept his humility intact.
As tears welled up in his eyes, Willie continued singing, being the consummate performer he is. The thousands of onlookers were delighted as he completed the beautiful rendition.
While the reason behind Willie’s tears during the song remains unclear, some fans speculated that they could be in memory of his longtime friend and drummer of over 50 years, Paul English, whom Willie had referred to as his “best friend.” Paul had passed away just a few weeks earlier on February 12, adding a poignant element to the emotional performance
