More Than Goodbye — A Thank You
“I’m not just saying goodbye. I want to say thank you.”
With eyes shimmering under the stage lights, Celine Dion stood before the cameras, calling the announcement both a celebration and a farewell: One Last Ride — the 2025 tour that will close the curtain on a career spanning more than six decades, where lyrics became bonds and melodies connected generations.
What excites fans most isn’t only the tour itself — but the promise of the song that will both open and close the show. Willie Nelson revealed that he will perform “On the Road Again,” the very first song he wrote and recorded back in 1980.
“That’s where it all began,” he said, his voice trembling. “And that’s where I want it to end.”
A powerful symbol as he steps into the final chapter of his life: a perfectly symmetrical moment, 92 years in the making.
This isn’t just a farewell performance. It’s a moment to look back on the roads traveled, the songs shared, and the memories carried across generations. For those who have followed their journey, One Last Ride promises not only a grand finale, but a heartfelt thank you — as intimate and timeless as the music itself.
