Country singer Jelly Roll is stepping away from touring for at least a year, telling fans during a recent show that he needs time to “heal,” according to TMZ. He didn’t elaborate on what, specifically, he needs to heal from, but the announcement comes amid a major shake-up in his personal life: Jelly Roll finalized his divorce from Bunnie Xo last month.
The country star, whose real name is Jason DeFord, made the announcement while performing at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah, on July 28 — the finale of his co-headlining “Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2” with Post Malone, Fox News reported.
“I’m fixing to take some time off and heal,” Jelly Roll told fans, according to Country Now.
His final scheduled performance was a separate Thursday concert at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs, two days after the stadium tour concluded in Salt Lake City. That date was a Y96.9/YFest presentation with Justin Moore and Ashley Cooke, not a Post Malone tour stop.
Jelly Roll filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo in May, citing irreconcilable differences after nearly 10 years of marriage. TMZ reports the split was resolved quickly, with Jelly Roll agreeing to a one-time lump-sum settlement payment. Fox News reported the couple finalized the divorce in early July.
