The 77-year-old recently revealed he is struggling to remember things and at a recent show in Long Beach, California, the Sunday Morning Coming Down singer reportedly had to use a teleprompter to recall some lyrics.
He called on his wife Lisa to help him with the opening line to a song, but Kristofferson tells Closer magazine: "It's not as unpleasant as it sounds. I am doing great."
However, his wife tells Closer the star's forgetfulness is "worsening a lot now".
That said, he's still planning a studio get together with his Highwaymen partner Nelson after teaming up with him for a performance at the Grammy Awards last month.
And he's still in great spirits, telling the magazine: "The great thing about losing your memory is that I can go all the way back to the beginning (of movies I've seen) and I'm never bored!"
