I went to see Dwight Yoakam Friday night and sat by a very intoxicated older lady who was telling me all about this Outlaw Country cruise she went on and how great it was. She said "Kris Kristofferson was there too! He died shortly after the cruise so I feel so blessed to have seen him." I looked at my wife and was like, should I tell her?

lol

He did legit retire shortly after a cruise, so she's probably just conflating/inflating. I saw him at Bonnaroo in 2010, and he was pretty ragged and rugged but he always was to some degree. It was a weird set, like 1 p.m. on a hot day, so we were all crowded in under the tent out of the sun, and the sound wasn't great because it was mostly just him and his guitar and it didn't carry well. Still! It was great. Found this clip from it, it has "Nobody Wins" and "From the Bottle to the Bottom."

There's this whole odd mid-90s concert of Kris Kristofferson and Lou Reed swapping songs (with Victoria Williams showing up for "Strawman" too):
