Who says older people can't take care of themselves? Naturally, the older you get, the more limitations you have, physically and even mentally. Oftentimes, they need people around to ensure they can still properly function in the world, hence all the retirement homes. You're incredibly lucky if you have family that have the time and patience to caretake instead. However, they don't always need it, especially Willie Nelson.

I mean, come on, he's still releasing albums like he's in his prime. Not long ago, he was out on tour with Bob Dylan. Moreover, he still frequents festivals, even if his performances mostly reserve him to a guitar and a chair. Sure, there have been times where he's gotten sick and his son Lukas would usually fill in for him accordingly. But Willie isn't useless, even at almost 92 years old. Unfortunately, one of these outlets didn't exactly get the memo and made it seem like Lukas Nelson is shouldering the load in the family. Now, Willie's wife Annie D'Angelo is setting the record straight.
Willie Nelson's Wife Annie Slams Inaccurate Reporting About Their Family
Recently, AXS TV makes an unsuspecting post on Instagram about the Nelsons. They write in the caption, "Lukas Nelson takes pride in taking care of 91-yr-old dad, Willie Nelson & 63-yr-old mom, Annie D'Angelo. Lukas makes sure mom & dad are comfortable and living their best life after many long years of making rad music."
However, Annie takes exception to the outlet's reporting of her and Willie. She takes to the comments to slam their inaccuracies and nips any assumption that Lukas is the sole caretaker in the bud. "Hey @axstv why would you take a photo from someone else's feed (my friend @marthacasselbodell ) & then make stuff up?" she writes. "I still take care of my husband [Willie] (Lukas has always been there for us as has his brother @particlekid ) and love it. Then you claim our incorrect ages. Don't do that[.] Just ask."
