“Still Not Dead”: Willie Nelson squashes another internet hoax

Rick Kern/WireImageWillie Nelson’s publicist confirms to ABC Radio that the country legend is “Still Not Dead,” just as the song on his latest album declares.

Internet rumors of Willie’s demise have become so rampant in recent years, the “Red-Headed Stranger” recorded the humorous track for his new project that came out in April, God’s Problem Child. The latest falsehood started with a tweet Thursday morning from a Chicago radio station.

The Country-Music-Hall-of-Famer will, in fact, be “On the Road Again” this weekend, as his 1980 hit says. Willie’s set to play the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, Alberta Friday night.
