Willie Nelson Walks Off Stage at NC Show, Angers Fans

Willie Nelson appeared, although briefly much to the chagrin of fans who paid to see him.
After postponing two Texas concerts because of illness earlier this week, Willie Nelson fans were thrilled – and relieved -- he was well enough to perform at Stafford Centre Wednesday night. The 83-year-old legend didn't disappoint.

CHARLOTTE, NC - Willie Nelson angered concertgoers Saturday night when he appeared on stage for only a few moments before leaving.

The 85-year-old Nelson was the headline act of the Outlaw Music Festival at the PNC Music Pavilion Saturday.

The country music legend didn't even play one note before leaving the stage. A press release from LiveNation stated that illness was the reason Nelson did not perform.

Concert-goers are asked to hold onto their tickets for the re-scheduled date. A new date for the concert has not yet been announced.

In a Youtube video posted by Michael Keim Nelson appears on stage, attempts to pick up his guitar, then throws his cowboy hat into the crowd and walks off.

This is not Nelson's first cancellation this year, he canceled several concerts in February due to the flu.

Many of those in attendance made their voices heard on the Outlaw Music Festival's Facebook page.
