Willie also has a new book in the works
Despite being 90, Willie is still working hard and inspiring fans. The music legend was also inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year and now has a book in the works.
The “Always On My Mind” singer — who was also honored at the University of Texas’ LBJ School of Public Affairs this year — is working on the book titled, Energy Follows Thought: The Stories Behind My Songs. The book focuses on Willie’s songwriting and will be out in October through William Morrow.
