Rascal Flatts: ‘2020 Has Really Sucked’
While Rascal Flatts had to cancel their Farewell Tour in 2020 due to the pandemic, the trio says that they hope to eventually tour one last time for fans, but don’t know if that will happen or not.
Jay DeMarcus said, “There is not really a timeline for how and when venues are going to open back up and what the social distancing measures are going to look like. So, we’re playing the ‘wait and see game’ right now. We don’t want to leave people hanging and just go away. We certainly want to go out and celebrate with them … but also (give) them a chance to see us for what may be one of the last times we’re around.”
He adds, “Like everybody else, no one saw this coming and we were all thrown for a loop. Quite frankly, 2020 has really sucked for everybody and we are taking it day by day.”
While there’s no way to know what the future holds, Demarcus wants to assure fans, “We’re really, really focused right now on what the next steps are gonna be as far as getting back on the road and getting in front of the fans… We’re still gonna continue to make new music and we’re still gonna keep in touch with the fans, and also keep them informed as to what we’re doing and what those next steps are going to be when they do happen.”
