- Kris Kristofferson Is Now Almost 90 How He Lives Is Sad.
"Old age but not old soul", Kris Kristofferson has shown us his unyielding burning passion for music even though he is almost 90 years old. Fans know that Kris is successful in his career, but how many people know about his melancholy life? Let's put aside the flashy things you see in Kris, this is the real-sad life he had to live for more than 8 decades.

There is absolutely nothing that indicates the life that Kris has is sad! I think he has been able to live his dream, surrounded with love and is going on 90. Thankful and grateful I would imagine.
Nothing sad about Kriss a genius and happily married for years beautiful children beautiful soul love him and his songs the lyrics never be repeated so where is the sadness?

No wonder you're asking where's the sadness. It's there, deep within Kris. Always has been, ever since he was a privileged US Navy Admiral's kid. He couldn't ve been a spoiled Navy's brat. As a matter of fact, he majored in English, he did a couple of post grad years at Oxford, England.
He did his USAF training, flew choppers and served in Germany. If I'm not mistaken, this country-rock-hippy holds the rank of a USAF major😂.
And he threw it all away. My Wild American choose instead to serve as a bartender and recording studio buildings janitor in Nashville, Tennessee. Like sweeping floors and dusting as the likes of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash went about their business of recording their music.
All the while, Kris was writing his own music and... waiting, waiting....
Until one day a chopper landed on Johnny Cash's land. Out came Kris carrying the Sunday Morning Coming Down lyrics and chords.
The rest is history. For Kris. And, to a large extent for Johnny, too.
not covered in the RUclips historical dialogue, is his current battle with Dementia, or has it been upgraded to Alzheimer's.?
@@craigbuehlmaier66. he will be famous when he dies
He is 87, has a few years until 90, June, 2026.
So talented! I have loved his music and him for about fifty years. He has a big heart and he feels so much sadness that comes through in his ballads. I have had the pleasure of seeing him in concert twice. He never disappoints.
Love ❤️ this Beautiful Soul ❤
A Silver Tongued Devil if ever there was one
He's always been one of the most talented people in the Show business. I never saw him live, I have seen a few movies, but I bought a few records. And I enjoyed listening to his music and watching him. I wish him continued success in whatever he does. ❤
He could never act or sing.
I beg the differ, he is more sucessful than all you critics put together. Like the man said in his song,help me make it through the night.
@@user-ct6fq9jd9d He is just a talentless Communist POS.
I saw Kris perform aged 83 and he was amazing. He was enjoying himself too. This is a priceless memory for me.
I hope the MAN lives another 100 years.... he has written some of the best songs ever !!!!!
There are people I always wished would outlive me. My wife and my son, e.g, my brother and my nephew and their families.... My friends, but a lot of them are gonna..
And my heroes in life. Jimi and Jim and Gram and Curt... went west ages ago. Many others, too.
As I myself am about to enter God's Waiting Room, I get to think about that shit much more than I care to.
And still, of all my heroes, Tony Bourdain is gone. Kris and Keith are still hanging around. Hope at least you two don't disappoint me.
I wish you many more years. Your the best. God Bless. I have always loved you music.❤
Something amazing happened a month ago. I was listening to a so g by Rits Coolidge and I commented it brought back many memories.my comment got a like by kris Kristofferson . So I commented, is that actually by Krs or a secretary...he replied that he was replying personally. Wow, I said I was honored that my idol had sent me a PERSONAL message. He sent me his email, and I praised him for supporting Sinead o Conner, and we started a wonderful correspondence. He seems absolutely bright and cheerful, and told me to keep in touch. Wow, I never knew that giving Rita's song a like would lead to a personal correspondence with this icon! I can assure everyone he's got a bright, cheerful and wonderful mind!
He is a wonderful artist, a patriot and a great american.🇺🇲
That he is.
A true and a great American.
Coming from a non-American life-long Americanophile.
"Sunday Morning" was lived long before it was written.
A giant of the country music world, Kristofferson's talent and magnetism seemed to extend to any artistic, intellectual or physical pursuit that caught his fancy. I 'discovered' him after his debut album in 1970 and theafter have never ceased to be amazed at his bottomless talents. When comes such another? Bless you Kris for all the joy and admiration you have spread.
I agree. I’ve loved him since the first time I ever saw and heard him. Beautiful songs and happiness to all who like him and his behaviour ❤
I was not a country western music fan until I discovered the remarkable Kris Krisofferson. I was really impressed with the words of his songs and how they impacted my life. Since the dsicovery I tried to follow everything I could find mostly on RUclips and have copied websites of the performances and forwarded to friends and family member who also grew to love Kris' s songs and the man he is.
Kris has lived his dream his way. Went against his family to Perdue his CV dreams. The CD absolute talented song writer of our era. Kris keep writing. My favorite songwriter plus singer (even though he said. I can’t sing. I sound like a frog)
Keep on. I want you here to keep writing, signing and acting.God bless you Kriss
I had his first album in 1970 and fell in love with his music .. Still in love now! I love the man too and sad never to have ever met him or heard him sing live
One of the best biographies I've ever listened to. Kris is one of the best folk singers of my generation. Superb.
Without a doubt, Kristofferson is an extremely significant musical giant, who will long be remembered, and repeatedly covered and repeatedly re-recorded among the top musical artists of all times. "For The Good Times", thank you Kris, from the bottom of my musical soul.
Close to the same age, Kris has had a great life and maximized his considerable talent in several areas. Only in America could this have happened. Nothing sad about this. I have always enjoyed his music.
I became a fan during the "Me and Bobbie McGee" years in 1971; He and Rita Coolidge were married during the release of the "Full Moon" album around 1973. His appearances in movies "Billy the Kid", and "A Star is Born"(with Barbra Streisand) remain memorable; Kris is a very old man now, but I think he recalls some older songs like "Why me, Lord"? Talented man indeed.
Love Kris ! A very talented man ! He is a very intelligent man also! Gods blessings to you!
Years creap up on us in the blink of an eye! "Why me Lord" was such a great song! Just one of the many songs i love!
A wonderful talent that was many times overlooked.
Yes yes and yes!
Soooooo true a complete genius and a kind and caring man actually his lyrics well just outstanding
I liked everything he did - acting and singing -- sing on Kris, we love you! A fan!
A REAL LEGEND> You are the definition of True Grit!!! You have inspired me and I thank you.!!
I never knew how diverse he is. Awesome!
I like Chris Kristofferson's music...especially Why Me, Lord.
Me 2
His name is Kris. Kristoffer Kristofferson. 😊
Why me, Lord?
Guess Kris would be far to humble to say so but the answer is the good Lord most probably likes good company.
That's why all those bishops, cardinals and popes tend to outlive turtles and elephants. The good Lord is not exactly itching for their company.
Love this man!!!!
That makes several million of us.
More like tens of millions. Take it from an old fart European 😊
His life sounds like it had its highs and lows but more highs than lows. It was a life a lot of us would give our souls to have.
He's an amazing Man. So talented, giving us so much Thank you Lord Jesus for You. I listen to you daily.
Kris has had and have a rich life, filled with so much talent, love, life experience, Most of all he enriched our lives with his songs and music, fans who love and respect him. Ever so grateful🙏❤🙏 so handsome even though nearing 90
So talented beyond belief!
Sunday Coming Down & A Star is Born ! My two favorites 😊
He will always be one of the very best of all time.
Kris has had a full and successful life, fantastic song writer, have had the pleasure of being at his last concert here in Canberra Australia, he wasn't well but loved every minute of it, love respect and blessings always ❤️🙏🇭🇲
Kris' health and age are the only sad thins about this most wonderful human being and artist. And of course the fact that I've never met this ❤ of a human being in person. Everything else about him makes me proud to have at least been his contemporary. And Kris, my eternal thanks for your unmatched music and poetry which today enjoy as much as I did when I first heard and learned to play "To Beat The Devil' half a century ago.
I stole your song, but I never drank your beer for nothing.
Brilliant. His songs and voice are pure magic.
He was a good father and grandfather and friend
He's done a lot in his life wow and he's still going good on him 👍
This man has not wasted his life,I have learned a lot about this man through this video….Thankyou xx
He's has a successful long life with some dents in it like everyone....but the caption says how he lives now is sad .... how is that ?.... seems to me he's has a good varied full life
Agree! Who wrote that headline?
Couldn't agree more 👏
My love for his songs keeps growing all the time, especially "why me Lord."
I always loved him. This does not explain how he turned to God and ended his drinking, etc. Or how it was discovered that he had Lyme disease. He had a great life and loved his family. Nothing sad about that.
Couldn't agree more 👏
I think the pic of Janice Was actually Joni
Yes ii think so
Yes, it was!! And several were of John Prine, not Kris. One was Peter Fonda, and 3 I have no idea who they were. But in each those pictures there was just one person, so I assume they were erroneously claiming they were Kris!! 😐
The two women look completely different!
And if you mean Janis* Joplin, she spelled it JANIS*, not Janice, for pete's sake. If you know what she looked like, you'd think you would have noticed how her name was spelled!!!! 🙄
I don’t understand why y’all have titled so many successful and talented artists as SAD. They all are very special people and hardly any sadder then anyone else.😊
Couldn't agree more 👏
He truly lived out more than his dreams. At the age of 75, if my career would take of, I would never be able to outdo him. 😊
I was born in '66. Mama had me involved with church four times a week since I was in diapers. Thursday nights were for getting in the church van and visiting 'shut-ins' (elderly...who couldn't make it to church any longer, but wanted to). I was young when got new hymnal books. There's nothing about this man, or his life, that is sad to me. Stand up in church and sing 'Why Me'. Take that one out to decent folks, and sing it to them. If nothing else, Kris has blessed us with this one. I've been to war four times and am back-slidden. WHY ME has a way keeping me somewhat straight. Thanks Kris. Oh yeah...I love anything he does that involves his 'harpoon'!
An amazing story that I had no idea of the many twists and turns experienced by Kris. Very interesting and prompts me to do more research on his life.
The Wild American makes for wonderful reading about Kris and people around him
April 2024. I Chris's music. So much. He is one of the best. I listen to his autobiography and he lived a great full life and still living. Also very intelligent and used it. A lot to be admired about Chris.
WOW!!!
I think he is truly the most outstanding poet of all time. I was fortunate to have seen him multiple times. He has a very different singing voice but I love him.
He was so talented. I absolutely love him. ❤️
Was?????
Kris is champion human being; we like his songs a lot. rue family
Like his music. A lot
Thanks Kris for your great contribution to the music and film scene. I happened to attend your concerts twice, one at Vienna's Musikvereinshaus and a rather private concert w/ Billy Swan in Mayrhofen.
Great memory!
Theres a lot of inaccuracies in this video èspecially photo's of other artist's
I love his song, Why me Lord. Brought tears to my eyes.❤
God bless you Sir Kris You've got a life well lived Thank you for the music and talent that inspired us your fans. We love you
I knew Kris Kristofferson and his sister Karen in 1964-65. He was the helicopter pilot for General Joseph R. Russ in Bad Kruzenach Germany.My husband Captain William C. Whitehead, Jr. was the Aide De Camp for General Russ. They often flew together all over Germany. He played his guitar and sang with all of us friends at a birthday party I threw in Sept.1964 at our quarters in honor of my husband and his classmate from West Point USMA who eventually married Kris’s sister Karen who loved and supported her brother all the time. My husband was killed in Vietnam in 1968. I remember Kris and Karen often.
Mary Anne
He hates the US.
He's not sad! He's a happy old uncle on Maui- such bullshit.
Soooooo true 👍
Kris has had a great life, nothing sad about it. What a lovely person he is.
Love Love Love Kris! Seen him when he was 82 in St.Louis MO To me he is in the top 3 greatest singers, songwriters of all time! Van Morrison and Bob Dylan are right there with him! I'm seeing Bob Dylan in 2 weeks...and he's 82 now. My dream is to see Van Morrison also someday. In my opinion these 3 are the BEST of the BEST! And, THANK YOU for your service Kris Kristofferson! Love you!!!!!
What an Amazing,Creative, Talented & Diverse man❣️I’ve Listened to & Loved his music Along with some of my Beloved Artists such as Willie(long time favorite)Haggard,Cash,& Waylon & Soo many more but I had NO IDEA 🤷♀️ just how Diverse his talent is & such a wonderful range of unforgettable experiences & now, 90 years old❣️WOW! It sure makes me Ponder my life at 73! Right now, it’s surely at a “Freeze Zone,Stand Still)⁉️😑
I Surely do pray 🙏 he has many years of Joy & Celebration for a Life Well Lived❣️
❤️🔥🫶❤️🔥
I first heard Kris Kristopherson when he recorded , Why Me Lord. I've been a fan ever since. He amazed me with his abilities to write songs. The man is a genius.
Absolutely nothing sad. I have been a fan since the late 60's/early 70's. Saw him many time at Moody Coliseum at SMU in the late 70's with Rita. What a show. Last time I saw him in person was in Ft Worth in 2016 at Bass Hall. Still amazing!!! He's been amazing in his writing, performing, acting and his commitment to justice. A great soul! I've been writing for years (still am), he is a true inspiration! ❤
AMAZING VIDEO What a man what a singer just brilliant
Great song writer love his music. And I'm glad he got save. Love his singing .
Such an incredible man! I love your songs, you great, great song writer and you sing most of them best!❤
The best of the best....
Kris has been a hard worker. I'm glad he met Lisa and found a happy marriage with her. My favorite song by Kris is "Why me, Lord?" May God bless him and his family.
I love his music, he's a brilliant song writer. His song Help me make it through the night, I make it my anthem song 😆 🤣. I'm and islander singer song writer . I love his style is very unique and different types to many Country music Singer . Thank you mate 👍
Nothing sad here.hes had a great life.
True! Kris' poetry and music will stand there for the long time to come. Far, far beyond ours......
I've had the misfortune of never seeing him live, let alone meeting him in person.
And still, after half of century of enjoying his lyrics and his songs, and never getting enough, I carry this feeling that we've been hanging around together all the time.
I have been a long time fan. I had no idea about so many other things.
!st saw Kris singing with his then wife Rita on the televised Rolf Harries show in 1973 and have loved his music ever since. Have seen him live 3 times in Australia, the last time was certainly a struggle for him.
🇺🇸A true American Icon heart and soul.🇺🇸
the title to this is totally misleading. nothing is said about "How He Lives Is Sad. "
Great info guys. I had no idea. His record "The silver tongued devil & I" is one of my most prized possessions.
I heard he helped John Prine get hooked up with a record company after Bonnie Raitt told Kris about him in Chicago.
The silver tongued & I
Top👍❤️
we all need to enjoy this live......jesus will lead11
First I want to thank you for your phenomenal biography. At the same time i do not get the "How he lives is sad"? I have fond memories of many of his concerts. He is and always will be one of the top performers I have enjoyed over the decades. His songs accompany me on many of my road trips. I'm kind of sad about missing his "last performance." I recall seeing the poster at the Sunset Theatre in Fort Pierce and saying to my wife "I should delay my flight to Michigan." But I did not know that was the end. I know his story well and will continue to share it with everyone I know.
They show of Pic of kris and Joni Mitchell and talk of Janis Joplin. You'd think they could co-ordinate those simple things.
Its Kris.. kristoffer Kristofferson. 😊
@marinawalker5745 of course, habit by bro is Chris.
Amazing talent
Amazing awesome Wow!!
I seen him sing at the college in eau Claire around 73. While the back up band played. He came and sat in front row next to me. He chit chatted. Thought he was a good person
Very interesting, i am a great fan
Absolutely Amazing
His songwriting was phenomenal and went straight to the heart
Really like him 😢
Had the beautiful privilege of meeting Kris (Rubber Duck) and his lovely wife Lisa at a hotel that I work at, took my lovely wife and mum to see him perform in concert a few years ago.
Brillant
Useless doco, crap research. You showed a picture of Kris with Joni Mitchell when referring to a relationship with Janis Joplin
he was not a young soul, but an old soul. that means he lived many lives before he was born as Kris.. we all live so many lives.. So many people are old souls.. and him being sad its just his soul longing to be free of birth. remembering his freedom. when you have lived long enough you understand that.
Always love his music and writing
I think He is it.............................................
I think he is a great singer and writer and actor as well
The ultimate man!
The Janis Joplin he was involved with (mentioned at 0:41) looks so much like Joni Mitchell, it's unreal! 😄
Great audio documentary. A life well lived and well respected. Nice reporting
His early years showed mild concussions; rugby and boxing.
His writing, passion and musical talent are absolutely perfect. His talent and life don't resemble sadness but that of determination 🤠
A musical giant , what a life........
Seine Lieder sind wundervoll, ich habe besonders jene mit Rita geliebt❤
Love you so much your music and songs means so much me your the Best❤
He his my all time hero❤❤❤
He has always been my favorite singer and I think he was also in a movie about dolfins
Wow, Kris was a great man & a veteran! John P.
He is of Swedish descent.
KRIS:, LOVE YOU AND GOD KEEPS BLESSING YOU. AMEN
