The Last Leaf by Willie Nelson

The Last Leaf

Willie Nelson • Nonfiction • Penguin Press hardcover • November 10, 2026 • 208 pages

Reflections on Late-Life Creativity—and My Longest Love Affair. At 93, Willie Nelson has not been slowing down: in the past twelve years, twenty-one new studio albums, more than fifty new songs, seven books and over eight hundred live shows. With down-home wit he writes about staying tapped into that energy, about facing almost-certain death during COVID, and about the abiding partnership with Annie, his wife and best friend for four decades.
