Lee Brice is back at #1…
Joe Don is out of Rascal Flatts…
Congratulations go out to Lee Brice. “Memory I Don’t Mess With” tops the Mediabase country singles chart this week, making it four number-ones in a row.
Rascal Flatts’ Joe Don Rooney quit the band. It’s not clear when he did, but it left Gary LeVox sad about how the band, which was part of his life for more than two decades, ended.
He tells People, “It kind of came out of nowhere. It was like, ‘Let me try to wrap my head around this.’ And then I certainly wasn’t okay with the pandemic, which canceled everything. I hate the way that it ended. I can’t stand the fact that it just feels there’s no closure with something that we’ve been so blessed with.”
The band had announced a farewell tour before the pandemic hit but they never officially announced a break-up.
Gary says he hasn’t heard from Joe Don but wishes him well.
