George Strait and Willie Nelson teamed up for a very rare joint performance in Austin, Texas, on Friday night (April 29), and the night turned even more special when Strait surprised Nelson by singing "Happy Birthday" to him live on stage to celebrate his 89th birthday.
Strait and Nelson shared the stage at a show billed as "Strait From Moody Center," which celebrated the grand opening of Moody Center, the University of Texas' new 15,000-seat arena. The one-night-only event included performances from Strait, Willie Nelson & Family and Randy Rogers Band, and since April 29 marked Nelson's birthday, Strait led the crowd in singing "Happy Birthday" to his fellow country icon, ending by saying, "Happy Birthday, Willie!" Also notable was that Nelson wore a matching felt cowboy hat like Strait's to return to the stage.
