BREAKING: Jessi Colter Breaks Down in Tears with Heartfelt Announcement about Waylon Jennings – Fans Left in Tears
In a rare and emotional interview in Nashville, legendary singer Jessi Colter — widow of the late country music icon Waylon Jennings — moved fans to tears as she shared a deeply personal and touching announcement about her beloved husband. More than two decades after Waylon’s passing, Jessi revealed that his presence still lives on in her heart as vividly as ever.
“There are mornings I wake up and swear I can still hear the sound of his guitar from the next room,” she said tearfully. “Waylon wasn’t just a legend in country music — he was a man who loved his family more than anything else in the world.”
Jessi went on to reveal that she’s preparing to release a new book and album — a deeply intimate tribute to her life with Waylon. The project will include untold stories from their years together: late-night tour bus rides, songs written backstage in quiet moments, and the simple joys of sharing coffee in their small kitchen. It’s a heartfelt gift not only to her late husband but also to the devoted fans who’ve kept his memory alive.
Thousands of fans quickly flooded social media with messages of support and emotion. “We miss him every single day,” one fan wrote. “Listening to Jessi speak, it feels like Waylon is still here with us.”
Waylon Jennings — known for his deep voice and outlaw spirit — was a trailblazer in the Outlaw Country movement. But to Jessi Colter, he was more than a music legend: he was a loving husband and lifelong soulmate. Now, through her words and music, Jessi is helping the world feel that love all over again.
