We hop on Willie Nelson’s tour bus, the Honeysuckle Rose, to talk about his latest album Last Man Standing, released just days before Nelson’s 85th birthday. Willie reflects on the pain of surviving some of his outlaw country friends, like Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard, tells the story of a prank he pulled in the hospital while being treated for a collapsed lung and shares his thoughts on reincarnation. Nelson also lights up (in more ways than one) when we talk about his favorite ways to relax. Giggles ensue.
