Country singer Wille Nelson - 73 years young - has been busted for possession of drugs in Louisiana.
The state's police department confirms that the singer's tour bus was searched and that both magic mushrooms and marijuana were found. A statement reads:
"When the door was opened and the trooper began to speak to the driver, he smelled the strong odour of marijuana."
A pound-and-a-half of weed was found, alongside a small amount of magic mushrooms. Nelson and four others were charged but later released.
Willie Nelson's new album, the Ryan Adams-produced Songbird, is due for release through Lost Highway on October 31.
