In Willie Nelson’s new biography, there’s a surprising revelation that brought back concerns for his family and fans. The biography, called “Me and Paul: Untold Stories of a Fabled Friendship,” was highly anticipated and came out this month.

The book talks about Paul English, who became famous for life because of the song “Me and Paul.” In the song, Willie Nelson celebrates Paul, who was not just a friend but also worked as his accountant, bodyguard, and drummer. The biography is doing the same thing, bringing attention to Paul’s importance in Willie’s life.

In Willie Nelson’s new biography, where he talks about his seven decades of friendship, he also shared something alarming. He confessed about a time when he tried to take his own life.

Willie reportedly told someone at a bar about a time when he felt really, really bad. He said he put his head on a train line, hoping it would help his troubled thoughts. This was his way of trying to end his own life.

After around fifteen minutes, he went back to the bar to have more drinks. His song “Seven Spanish Angels” became a big deal in 1961, and it helped him a lot in his career. Even though he faced tough times, he managed to get through them.

Someone who didn’t reveal their name said that Willie felt like he had to work very hard because he was worried about losing everything. Instead of choosing to end his life, it seems he would rather die doing what he loves the most — singing on stage.

Willie Nelson has no plans to stop making music. He said in a statement that he doesn’t want to retire right now. The idea of retiring is not something he wants to think about at this stage of his life.
In an interview with Parade, Willie said he doesn’t want to worry about how much time he has left on Earth. Instead, he wants to enjoy the good life he has and make it even better.
He mentioned a song he wrote called “Pay for the Day.” It means you need to do something to earn enough money for the day. Willie likes to get up and jog, do some exercises, and he found that singing is good for his lungs. Especially during these times when he has to stay inside, singing is something his body craves.
When asked about the key to a happy life, Willie advised people to think positively, just like he did when he was going through a tough time.

Apart from these activities, Willie plans to keep performing live concerts in the coming years.
