Chase Rice recently announced on social media that he is taking a break from touring after 13 years on the road. The country artist shared that he’s feeling exhausted and needs some time to focus on himself.
“I’ve lived a dream far greater than I could’ve ever expected. This isn’t a goodbye thing or anything like that to be clear upfront, although it may feel like that, but I’m exhausted,” Rice wrote in his post. “I haven’t been able to be myself on stage in quite a while and really enjoy music and why I got into it in the first place.”
Rice expressed his love for music and storytelling, explaining how much it means to him. “I love songs, I love living them, hearing stories from other people, and figuring out how to put that life into music,” he said. “After 13 years, it’s finally beat me up to the point where I need to step away for a while. I need to go live life so that I have more real experiences to write down.”
He went on to reveal that he won’t be touring this year—a decision he described as not really a choice but something he knows he has to do for his own well-being. “A lot of artists do this all the time, but it’s new for me, so it’s kind of a big deal in my life.”
Despite this break, Rice still has a handful of shows scheduled to wrap up the year before taking some downtime away from the road. Fans can look forward to his eventual return as he recharges and gathers new experiences to inspire his music.
