Phil said:

“Not when I feel like this. That’s the thing. If it was a struggle… It’s not for me. I work out every day. I’m a vegan. I haven’t drunk for 36 years. So all of those things really help. And you look at, like, Mick Jagger, he has a physio, he has a treadmill in his room.”

Collen further elaborated on the band’s dedication to their craft, emphasizing their vocal warmups and their genuine live performances. They continually practice, train, and strive to improve their skills. As long as they can sustain this level of commitment and continue to progress, Collen expressed enthusiasm for continuing their touring journey.

 

”And we have our trainer out with us. We have our chef out with us. So if you keep doing that and you’re serious about it… We do vocal warmups. We really sing (live); it’s actually us really doing it.

”But we actually practice and we train and do this stuff all the time. So as long as we can do all of that and still get better, then, yeah, great.”

He just stood there, looking at that empty spot. The opening chords of “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” began to play, but nobody sang. The crowd was confused for a heartbeat. Then, they understood. 50,000 people started singing. They took the verse. They took the chorus. They sang for the man who couldn’t be there. Jason didn’t sing a note. He just lifted that cup towards the sky. In the VIP section, grown men in cowboy hats were openly weeping. It wasn’t a concert anymore. It was a family reunion missing its loudest brother. That night, Nashville didn’t just hear the music. They felt the loss.

The microphone stand at center stage was empty. No guitar leaned against it. No voice tested the sound.…

YOU COULD HAVE MISSED THE MOST HEARTBREAKING MOMENT OF CMA 2025 — WHEN LEGEND WILLIE NELSON, FRAIL BUT UNBROKEN, SILENTLY WATCHED FROM THE CROWD AFTER THE AUDIENCE HAD ALREADY LEFT, BEFORE KEITH URBAN PUSHED HIS WHEELCHAIR ONSTAGE, LEAVING THE WHOLE ARENA IN TEARS — A HOMECOMING THAT LEFT LAINEY WILSON, VINCE GILL, AND GEORGE STRAIT SOBBING LIVE IN FRONT OF MILLIONS! Just when most of the audience had already started to leave, thinking CMA 2025 was over and the lights were dimmed for good, a frail but iconic figure quietly appeared in the emptying arena — Willie Nelson. No one knew he had been there all along, silently watching every final moment with a proud, soulful gaze that spoke volumes. It felt as if the true spirit of country music had quietly come home. Then, in the night’s most powerful and emotional surprise, Keith Urban gently pushed Willie’s wheelchair onto the stage. The arena, now quieter and more intimate, fell into stunned silence before erupting into overwhelming emotion. Fellow legends Vince Gill and George Strait couldn’t hold back their tears, standing frozen with heartfelt whispers and trembling voices. Host Lainey Wilson broke down, rushing to embrace Willie in a moment of pure love and reverence. As Willie settled onstage, he softly whispered, “I’m just glad to be home with my family.” Keith nodded, his voice choked with emotion, “You’ve carried all our hearts for decades, Willie.” Vince Gill added quietly, “Your spirit is the soul of this music.” George Strait’s voice cracked as he said, “Welcome back, brother. We’ve missed you.” Lainey Wilson, tears streaming down, wrapped her arms around Willie and said, “This is where you belong.” This wasn’t just a performance — it was a sacred homecoming, a testament to resilience, legacy, and the unbreakable bond that country music holds. It was a CMA moment for the ages, a reminder that legends never truly leave—they live on in every note, every tear, every heart touched. WATCH THIS UNFORGETTABLE MOMENT BELOW
