Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley recently announced they both were going to be trying their hand at solo projects, but assured fans they were not breaking up. Well, now Tyler is talking about their decision.

“We’ve stayed in really good communication about it and we both feel a lot of freedom, a lot of creative juices flowing, a lot of inspiration, and so it’s fun,” he tells “Entertainment Tonight.” “We’re still gonna be doing a lot together and playing for the fans and singing the hits, but it’s been fun to venture out and have a little bit of individuality as we go.”

Tyler says the pair decided to announce their solo projects via a Zoom on Instagram so fans would see they still have a very good relationship, despite rumors to the contrary.

“I told BK, I’m like, ‘Dude, we gotta make a video for the people ’cause we hadn’t told them anything and everybody’s confused and wondering what was going on,” he says. “So we gotta control the message and tell them the truth and let’s get that thing out there.’ So I was happy we did that.”
