In his New Year\u2019s message, the country singer said the doctors told him \u201cthat I wouldn\u2019t see March, let alone 2026, but now I won\u2019t settle for nothin short of 2066.\u201d<\/p>\n

My fingernails growing brittle as chalk, my braids falling out one by one \u2013 still I\u2019m blessed to play my songs. 25, when I hobbled out my sick bed after bein\u2019 told I would never walk out again, I knew I was a brother of Lazarus, I knew I was born again. You taught me the blessing and the curse, the poisons and the cures. I\u2018m a long shot that got to come home, starin\u2019 into the eyes of death as death stared back at me. I knew completely, truly what blues is.\u201d<\/p>\n
