FINAL CALL FOR WILLIE!

LIVING country legend Willie Nelson's musical L outlaw pals have mostly like fallen leaves from a tree - and loved ones fear he'll soon be riding off into the sunset himself!

The 91-year-old Red Headed Stranger was so despondent over the September death of best buddy Kris Kristofferson, 88, that he waited nearly two months to speak about it and then let loose a torrent of hurt over the loss.

"I hated to lose him," he says.

"That was a sad time.

Kris was a great friend of mine. And, you know, we just kind of had a lot of fun together and made a lot of music together."

The death left Willie as the last living member of the country music supergroup The Highwaymen, which included Kristofferson along Bandmate Paul English with late country legends Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings.
