Willie Nelson Reveals He Asked His Wife ‘To Let Me Die’ Twice While Battling COVID-19

In 2022, Willie Nelson contracted COVID and the days that followed were among the most harrowing of the country legend’s life. In his new book The Last Leaf: Reflections on Late-Life Creativity and My Longest Love Affair Nelson, 93, recounts the difficult period in conversation with his wife Annie, 70, whom he credits with saving his life. Annie, with whom Nelson shares sons Lukas, 37, and Micah, 36, is the major thread throughout the “On the Road Again” singer’s new book, which pulls the curtain back on their private love story for the first time. The couple first met on the set of the TV movie Stagecoach in 1986, and tied the knot five years later. Though Nelson has spoken publicly about battling COVID in May 2022, The Last Leaf details the deeply personal conversations he shared with his wife — and her dogged determination to keep him alive at any cost.
