WILLIE NELSON ON BIEBER: LET HIM GROW UP

The Associated Press

Country star Willie Nelson is known for his outlaw image, and he got a bit philosophical when asked about Justin Bieber's recent arrest.

"He'll be all right," said Nelson of the 19-year-old pop star. "Let him grow up and then we'll talk about him."

Nelson has been arrested several times for marijuana possession.

He appeared on the red carpet before the Grammys Sunday with his buddies Kris Kristofferson and Merle Haggard. The three country legends are making another album together.
