Willie Nelson was hospitalized on Saturday before a planned appearance in a suburb of Denver, reports a local TV station.

The 79-year-old country legend was scheduled to perform at a benefit in Castle Rock, Co at the Castle Pines Village on Saturday, and while his band did arrive, Nelson never made it to the event site.

An announcement was made to the audience that Nelson was "suffering from breathing problems due to the high altitude and emphysema" and taken to a near by hospital, according to Colorado NBC affiliate 9news. Read their full report here.
