This video says 18 years ago. If it was truly 18 years ago then Waylon would have been fighting his diabetes diagnosis. It would have been 4 years at that point til his death. I’m sure he was going through a lot knowing his chances of survival were slim

I can not believe that anyone could not like Waylon he was one of the best there was, I miss his music and the Highwaymen, the ones that don't like him can go where it don't snow, and they can't say they are country music lovers. Love his music and always will,

I'm 32 and been a fan of Waylon since I was a little girl. Waylon is my favorite country singer. This song is just one of my favorites of his. I play guitar but nothing like the way Waylon could. He could make a guitar sing. He had a unique sound and style. I wish I could have seen him in concert and meet him. My heart is heavy because we lost him much too soon.

Hi - we saw Waylon probably 5 or 6 times over the years. Had tickets to see him right before he got sick - he canceled two days before the concert in Wheeling, WV, and never came back around again. I remember the day he passed away; I woke up to go to work, and turned the news on, and the story came on. Felt so incredibly sad.
@jimbrady72117 жыл бұрын
I read Waylon's autobiography. It made me respect the man. I love his music and cannot get enough of it. His Christmas music is beautiful, too. Waylon was one of a kind and absolutely brilliant on stage. Our loss is heaven's gain. If anybody throws up his past, just remember when God forgives, He forgets.

Waylon's like good whiskey. Take it straight and you either like it or not. No frills just talent, guts and damn good looks { I ain't, but if I was he'd have had to get a restraining order :) } John Doe; according to Waylon, when he quit he was spending $1500.00 a day on coke, and had been on coke for 21 years. At that time coke was about $100.00 a gram, but when you buy pounds it gets cheaper, but bottom line, the man had the constitution of an elephant just to survive. Hence the name Waymore.

Also he is wearing his "shooter" necklace so he may have been clean here, after he got clean it took about two years for him to look like the older healthier Waylon. Check out his 80's interview, he was off drugs but was still healing so he looked tired. Again give the guy a break!

Waylon Got Clean in the late 80's or early 90's when he went to a dry out Ranch in Arizona. By his own admission, it was the hardest thing he ever did. I always suspected that it was the thought of loosing Jessi that changed his mind about drug's. You are correct,He was clean for about ten years,but it was about ten years to late. I seen him for the last time in 93 and he put on a great performance.
