Bob Dylan, 84, Turns Heads During Recent Concert Duet: 'Always Creating Musical Tension'
If there's one thing you can count on, it's that musical legend Bob Dylan is going to go his own way. The star has made a career out of "confounding expectations," as he famously said in his MusiCares acceptance speech. For 60 years, the singer-songwriter has been constantly reinventing and changing himself to throw people off. He's never going to do the thing you expect. This has been true in every aspect of his career, whether that's his look, his persona, or the way he performs his songs. A recent performance of Dylan's has caused some conversation, specifically around his aging voice and the way he performs in his current state. A clip from his Outlaw Festival performance of "All Along the Watchtower" with Billy Strings seems to have stirred some opinions. Fans left their thoughts on the performance, as well as the text overlay from the video in the comments. "If you don't get Dylan, you're deficient in some way." "Dylan is an acquired taste." "Dylan creating musical tension as always. 🔥✌️" It appears that Dylan has done what he's always done: Create discourse, make people think, and always march to the beat of his own drum.🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Bob Dylan, 84, Turns Heads During Recent Concert Duet: 'Always Creating Musical Tension' first appeared on Parade on May 27, 2025

Bob Dylan, 83, Stuns Fans Singing Beloved Hit Song for First Time in 15 Years
One of the most singular figures in all of music history is folk rock legend Bob Dylan. Dylan has led one of the most storied careers in all of music, starting with his cross country trip to New York City to cement himself into the folk music scene of Greenwich Village, to becoming a countercultural symbol with his foray into electric music, to his country music reclusive era in Woodstock, all the way through gospel periods, returns to form, jazz covers, and today, where he's still touring. Anyone who has attended one of Dylan's shows and is the least bit familiar with his personality knows that you're getting a surprise with every show. The Nobel prize winner tends to avoid his biggest hits at concerts, more performing what he wants to. That's what makes this video very surprising. For the first time in 15 years, Dylan performed "Mr. Tambourine Man" for a crowd in Phoenix on May 13. This is no doubt one of his most covered and celebrated songs, and he's performing it for the first time in 15 year! Fans were elated, leaving reactions in the comments below. "Sounds pretty damn close to the original arrangement. Amazing." "Can't believe how good he is sounding these days. This is crazy good.""So glad he is going back to his classics. He sounds great. Folks, he is 83. And he is one of the most important musicians of the past century." The show the song was performed at kicked off his Outlaw Festival tour with Willie Nelson. It's a great show that I myself had the pleasure of seeing last year. I think it's safe to say that music fans are lucky Dylan is still around and performing. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

The Real Reason Why Willie Nelson Celebrates Two Birthdays
Willie Nelson celebrates his 92nd birthday this year, and some fans might be surprised to learn that the "On the Road Again" singer actually has two birthdays. Willie was born in 1933 in Abbott, Texas, a small town about 25 miles north of Waco. His actual birthday is April 29, but, because he was born so late at night, the country clerk wasn't able to record it. So, on paper, his birthday is April 30. Willie explained, "I was born before midnight on the 29th but it didn't get registered in the county courthouse until the next day, the 30th. So, it went out officially as the 30th. So I just do both days." In case you're wondering, Willie is showing no signs of slowing down. His 77th studio album, Oh What a Wonderful World, was released on April 25, and his Outlaw Festival tour kicks off in May for the 10th year. This time, Willie will be joined by Bob Dylan, Billy Strings, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Sheryl Crow, Turnpike Troubadours, The Avett Brothers, Wilco, and more. Plus, he's bringing back his 4th of July Picnic in Austin, Texas. With a storied career like Willie's, it's certainly worth a double celebration! We're looking forward to seeing what's next for the country icon.
