Willie Nelson condemns the Texas voting bill as 'un-American' and headlines at the end of a four-day

protest

Country music star Willie Nelson has headlined the close of a four-day march in Texas in support of voting rights.

Texas is one of several GOP-led states that has introduced voting and elections bills following the 2020 election - and masses have come out to protest as Democrats call them an attack on voting rights.

Nelson played a short set to close out the rally staged in Austin to close out the rally, which featured the star's 2018 song, "Vote 'Em Out."

"It is important that we ensure the right for EVERY American to vote and vote safely," Nelson said in a statement through the Poor People's Campaign when he announced his participation in the rally in support of Democratic state legislators who bolted for Washington two weeks ago to block GOP-backed voting restrictions.
