Yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of Merle Haggard’s death, and what would have been his 80th birthday, and his good friend Willie Nelson decided to pay tribute to the legend with a song.
Willie released the single “He Won’t Ever Be Gone,” from his upcoming album ‘God’s Problem Child.” An accompanying black and white video features some old footage of Merle, as well as clips of of Willie recording the song.
“God’s Problem Child” is set to drop April 28th. Check out the video
