Willie Nelson’s new autobiography, Me and Paul: Untold Stories of a Fabled Friendship, reveals his past struggles, including a suicide attempt. However, he remains committed to his music career, staying active with jogging and singing to maintain his health. Born in Abbott, Texas, in 1933, Nelson was raised by his musical grandparents, who inspired his love of music. He got his first guitar at six and began writing songs, including his famous “Family Bible.” Despite his Christian upbringing, Nelson pursued music beyond the church, even playing in a polka band at age 10.
