Country star Chase Rice steps away from music career indefinitely

Country singer Chase Rice is hitting the brakes after more than a decade of touring.

In an emotional Instagram post, the 40-year-old country star announced he will step away from music after completing a limited run of shows slated for 2026, admitting he has reached a point of exhaustion. 

"Alright everybody, I wasn't sure whether I was gonna talk about this or not but here we are. I've been touring for 13 years and I've lived a dream far greater than I could've ever expected," Rice began.
