Legendary country outlaw Willie Nelson has canceled his tour due to what’s being described as a “breathing problem.”

He had just appeared with Alison Krauss in Toledo, Ohio, and was scheduled to perform Friday in Grand Rapids, Mich.

His tour included a scheduled stop at Farm Aid, where he was exepected to appear with John Mellencamp, Dave Matthews, Neil Young and Bonnie Raitt on Sept. 21.

The Willie Nelson tour was scheduled to wrap up Nov. 29 in Thackerville, Okla.

Nelson canceled a number of dates last year for health reasons.
