What greater gift can an artist receive than to be told \u2019I got married to \u201cBless The Broken Road,\u201d\u2019 or \u2019We played \u201cMy Wish\u201d at my graduation.\u2019 That \u2019\u201cWhat Hurts The Most\u201d is the song that made me love country music for the first time,\u2019 or \u2019\u201cI\u2019m Movin\u2019 On\u201d helped me get sober\u2019 or even that \u2018\u201cChanged\u201d made me call my family again after not talking to them for years,&#8217;\u201d he asked. \u201cThat\u2019s why we create music and the reason we can\u2019t wait to celebrate this incredible 20 year journey all year, with our fans who we love dearly. I don\u2019t know what God has in store for the future, but I am excited to see what He has planned!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really looking forward to getting to spend this entire year loving on our fans, and thanking them for allowing us to have the most amazing career over the last 20 years,\u201d the band\u2019s Jay DeMarcus added. \u201cWhile it is of course bittersweet, it is so important to us to celebrate what our music has meant to their lives, as well as what the fans have meant to us. There is no sadness here, just new chapters, new journeys, and new beginnings. Rascal Flatts\u2019 music will live on forever, because of our fans, and this year is all about them!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDreams do come true,\u201d Joe Don Rooney added, \u201cand we are three walking examples of this truth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m most proud of the fact that we\u2019ve pursued our dreams together and with courage, hard-work and dedication we\u2019ve been able to cultivate our dreams into reality; it\u2019s simply incredible! There\u2019s no doubt we have been blessed way beyond belief and we can\u2019t wait to spend the rest of 2020 expressing our love and appreciation to all of our devoted fans, music industry friends and our families for believing in us and playing a major role in our path to here. And, I personally can\u2019t wait to shine a light on my brothers Jay and Gary this year, and make another mountain of new memories with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <strong><br \/>RASCAL FLATTS FAREWELL: LIFE IS A HIGHWAY TOUR Official Dates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>6\/11: Indianapolis, IN @ Ruoff Music Center<br \/>6\/12: Detroit, MI @ DTE Energy Music Theatre<br \/>6\/13: Cincinnati, OH @ Riverbend Music Center<br \/>6\/25: Chicago, IL @ Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre<br \/>6\/27: Pittsburgh, PA @ S&amp;T Bank Music Park<br \/>7\/18: Dallas, TX @ Dos Equis Pavilion<br \/>7\/23: St. Louis, MO @ Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre<br \/>9\/3: Toronto, ON @ Budweiser Stage<br \/>9\/4: Cleveland, OH @ Blossom Music Center<br \/>9\/5: Buffalo, NY @ Darien Lake Amphitheater<br \/>9\/10: Raleigh, NC @ Coastal Credit Union Music Park<br \/>9\/11: Virginia Beach, VA @ Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater<br \/>9\/12: Washington, DC @ Jiffy Lube Live<br \/>9\/17: Wantagh, NY @ Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater<br \/>9\/18: Boston, MA @ Xfinity Center<br \/>9\/19: Holmdel, NJ @ PNC Bank Arts Center<br \/>10\/1: Mountain View, CA @ Shoreline Amphitheatre<br \/>10\/2: San Diego, CA @ North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre<br \/>10\/3: Irvine, CA @ FivePoint Amphitheatre<br \/>10\/7: Denver, CO @ Red Rocks Amphitheatre<br \/>10\/9: Albuquerque, NM @ Isleta Amphitheater<br \/>10\/10: Phoenix, AZ @ Ak-Chin Pavilion<br \/>10\/15: Atlanta, GA @ Ameris Bank Amphitheatre<br \/>10\/16: Tampa, FL @ MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre<br \/>10\/17: West Palm Beach, FL @ Coral Sky Amphitheatre<\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\"> Alison makes her living loving country music.
