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.

Pennsylvania man sentenced to prison in connection with 2022 shooting at Musikfest in Bethlehem
A 24-year-old man was sentenced Thursday in connection with the 2022 shooting at Musikfest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, that left one man injured. Joshua Colon, of Bethlehem, was sentenced to three to nine years for charges of aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person, Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin Holihan said in a release. Holihan said a plea agreement was reached due to the victim's refusal to cooperate with the investigation. Bethlehem Police responded to shots fired at Musikfest's Plaza Tropical section on Aug. 13, 2022. The section of the festival is located at the intersection of Main and West Lehigh streets, the release said. The man was shot once in the stomach, and he was listed as stable after receiving aid from police. The investigation showed the shooting happened during a dispute between two groups, "making this not a random act," the release said. "Despite the size of the large crowd in the area attending Musikfest, no other injuries were reported to police after this shooting occurred," Holihan said. Colon pleaded guilty to the charges in December 2024. The festival reopened the next day, but some festival goers were still shaken up. The 10-day music festival broke a record in headliner tickets last year, claiming Musikfest is the "largest non-gated music festival in the country setting." Musikfest 2025 is scheduled for Aug. 1-10 with headliners Riley Green and Darius Rucker. Other artists to grace the 16 stages vary from Nelly to Chicago to The Avett Brothers and more.
