6. Willie Nelson
Willie Nelson is definitely one of a kind. The singer, songwriter, activist, author and stoner is also by far one of the coolest people to ever live. Nelson has had an amazing career and has countless fans and admirers worldwide. His life seems nothing short of amazing, however, like everyone else, Nelson has faced some tremendous loss in his life.
At the age of 33, his son Billy, who was going through financial problems, took his own life in their family’s Tennessee cabin. Billy had battled emotional problems for years and Nelson did all he could to help his son, however it was not enough. Nelson is a believer in reincarnation and has even been quoted talking about his belief, saying “We’ve already been reincarnated about a million times, maybe. It doesn’t make sense any other way.”
Right or wrong, Nelson has not been able to mask his hurt after losing his son. The singer does not speak publicly about the incident and would like fans to continue to respect his privacy on the matter.
