Country icon Willie Nelson has postponed three shows in California because of illness.
Publicist Elaine Schock said that Nelson will miss scheduled concerts for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at Buck Owens' Crystal Palace in Bakersfield.
Ms Schock gave no details on Nelson's sickness, but said he plans to be back on the road again for a concert at a San Antonio rodeo on February 16.
It's the second time in recent weeks the 83-year-old country legend has missed shows because of sickness.
He cancelled two of his five shows in Las Vegas in late January because of a bad cold.
The singer-songwriter behind hits like "On the Road Again" is due to release a new album called "God's Problem Child” in April.
