Chase Rise Taking Break From Touring

January 14, 2026 8:45 am Published by

Chase Rice announced that he’s stepping away from touring after 13 years in the industry.

“I’m exhausted. 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… 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.”

The 40-year-old country star won’t hit the road in 2026, and will only play a handful of scheduled shows throughout the year.

He emphasized that “This isn’t a goodbye thing or anything like that to be clear upfront” but didn’t provide a timeline for his return.

Rice achieved major success by co-writing Florida Georgia Line‘s 2012 hit, “Cruise,” and scored two solo No. 1 singles on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with “Eyes On You” and “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.”
