Maren Morris Cancels “RSVP Tour,” Working On New Record

Maren Morris has some good news and bad news for fans. The bad news is that she’s decided to officially cancel her “RSVP Tour,” which was supposed to happen this summer, but was postponed due to the coronavirus.

“Hi Darlings,” she shared on Instagram. “There is so much hope with this vaccine being distributed in 2021, but we are still unsure of when we will be able to do the tour next year.” She adds, “With the prospect of, yet again, rescheduling half of the dates already becoming a reality, I have decided to cancel the RSVP tour.”

Fans who held on to their tickets will be able to get a full refund.

On the positive side, Maren let fans know that at least new music is on the way. “I truly appreciate your patience on this,” she added. “I am in the midst of working on my third record, so I hope we can all come together and enjoy live shows safely again soon.”

Rascal Flatts Reflects On Their Post-Band Futures

In 2021, the members of Rascal Flatts will be stepping away from the group to pursue solo endeavors. Jay DeMarcus talked about what he’s going to miss the most about the band saying, “I’m gonna miss the times that we shared together that no one knows about, that no one sees – the looks at each other on the stage, the moments that we look at each other and we know that we’re at our best. The time in the trenches that no one knows about that the three of us have shared together that have bonded us together for life is what I will miss the most.”

Jay admits that their 20 years together haven’t been perfect, but they have bonded them together for life and even though Jay, Gary, and Joe Don will no longer be working together as Rascal Flatts, Jay says they’ll be able to look back with a certain amount of pride with what they accomplished together.
