Willie Nelson cancels fundraising gig due to health problems

Boy oh boy, a lot of well wishes being sent out this Sunday morning to various country stars around the country. 

This time it's Willie Nelson who was forced to cancel a fundraising performance in Castle Pines Village, Colorado on Saturday, August 18, due to rumored health problems. 

Fred Bartlit, host of the fundraiser called Lulu's Barkin' BBQ, told the Denver Post, "I was told Willie woke up and had trouble breathing, so he was taken to the hospital." 

Lulu's Barkin' BBQ was raising money for the Dumb Friends League, a Denver area Humane Society Animal Shelter. 

Chris Gallegos, spokesman for the Dumb Friends League did confirm that Willie had cancelled his appearance, but couldn't give a reason due to confidentiality.

Hope it's nothing serious.
