Last Leaf

Willie Nelson’s The Last Leaf is a reflective memoir about staying creatively alive, even in your nineties, and about the quieter, deeper work of a long partnership. With his plainspoken humour and hard-won perspective, Nelson looks back on a life of music and touring, including a brush with death during Covid, and shares the mindset that keeps him grounded: “I stay in the present.” Threaded through these recollections is a warm, often funny portrait of Annie, his wife and best friend for four decades, and the way their love has matured into something steady and sustaining. It is less about the spark of first love than the harmony of what comes after. Useful additional information Author: Willie Nelson
