Country Band Rascal Flatts Retired In 2020
In January 2020, Rascal Flatts announced they would be heading out on a Farewell Tour. They released the following statement regarding them going their separate ways after the tour.
“When we started out 20 years ago, we could not imagine all of the people, places and gifts we would encounter. As we head out on the Rascal Flatts Farewell – Life is A Highway Tour, there is no sadness. Just new chapters, new journeys, and new beginnings,” read the statement.
They made it clear that the band wasn’t breaking up because there was bad blood. Jay DeMarcus reassured fans, “We still love each other.”
As we all know, they were forced to cancel the entire tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Not being able to say goodbye to their fans was “hard,” and it felt like it was “stripped away” from them, according to DeMarcus in a 2021 interview.
