Willie Nelson called off a concert after just one song and was forced to cancel several upcoming dates due to breathing issues, The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

During a Saturday show at the Harrah's Resort SoCal in San Diego, the 84-year-old musician was performing his opener, "Whiskey River," when he suddenly ended the performance. Fans said Nelson was coughing and apparently having trouble breathing as he left the stage.

Nelson's publicist told the Union-Tribune that the musician had either "a bad cold or the flu" and was recovering at his home in Texas. The rest of the musician's itinerary for the week was also canceled, including two nights at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, and a performance in Laughlin, Nevada. Nelson is scheduled to return to the road next month for a string of dates that starts February 7th in Macon, Georgia.

Don't bogart that joint, my friend. Pass it over to me. Roll another one. Just like the other one. This one's burnt to the end. Come on and be a friend.

Not the first time he's had respiratory issues in recent years.  He really ought to switch to brownies.
