Recent reports about country music legend Kris Kristofferson suggest that he may be in the later stages of his life and facing health challenges. The 87-year-old icon has navigated a complex health journey, which began with his initial diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease in 2013.

However, further medical assessment results revealed that his memory loss was actually linked to a bacterial infection— Lyme disease. Although medication provided some relief for the  “Why Me” crooner, it seems his health is declining again, as close sources suggest he may be close to the end of his life.
