Thank you so much for the many birthday greetings, cards, tributes, videos and gifts that I received from people all over the world for my 80th birthday. I love and will cherish them all.

I would like to especially thank all those who showed up the other night to the benefit concert at The Backyard in Austin and supported the Abbott and West Fire Departments. Being able to help these real heroes was the best birthday present I could have ever hoped for. Thank you again for making it all possible.

Willie Nelson was joined by Sheryl Crow, Jamey Johnson, Norah Jones, Ashley Monroe, Leon Russell and Neil Young on Thursday (April 18) to celebrate his upcoming 80th birthday during a taping of CMT Crossroads: Willie Nelson & Friends From Third Man Records. Musician Jack White hosted the special from his Nashville-based studio, Third Man Records. Nelson turns 80 on Monday (April 29), although most reference books cite April 30 as his birthdate. He released a new album, Let’s Face the Music and Dance, on April 16. The CMT Crossroads special, which features Nelson performing duets of several of his most famous songs, is set to air in late June.
