12 COUNTRY SINGERS WHO ARE SICK AND DYING

12 COUNTRY SINGERS WHO ARE SICK AND DYING
They kept showing up. Even when the diagnosis came down. Even when the treatments were brutal and the body was done cooperating. These twelve country legends — some already gone, some still fighting right now — shared one thing in common: the music was always the last thing they let go.
This isn't a tribute reel. It's the story of what was happening behind the songs you grew up with. Merle Haggard, who told his son exactly which day he would die — and was right. Kris Kristofferson, treated for Alzheimer's for nearly a decade when it was never Alzheimer's at all. Glen Campbell, who kept playing guitar long after the disease had taken everything else. Naomi Judd, who couldn't hold on one more day before the Hall of Fame came to her. Toby Keith, who hid his diagnosis for six months while going through chemotherapy, then walked on a Vegas stage and cracked a joke. Willie Nelson, 93, emphysema and all, back on the road against every piece of advice from everyone who loves him.
Some of these stories you think you know. You don't know all of them.
Country music has always been about the things people carry. This video is about what these singers carried when nobody was watching — and how they carried it anyway.
