Chase Rice Announces Break From The Road

January 8, 2026/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Chase Rice

Chase Rice recently revealed to fans on social media that he’s taking a break from touring after 13 years on the road.

Rice decided to step back from life on the road, saying he’s exhausted and needs to take some time for himself. “I’ve lived a dream far greater than I could’ve ever expected. This isn’t a goodbye thing or anything like that to be clear upfront, although it may feel like that, but I’m exhausted. I haven’t been able to be myself on stage in quite a while and really enjoy music and why I got into it in the first place,” says Rice in the post.

“I love songs, I love living them, hearing stories from other people, and figuring out how to put that life into music. After 13 years it’s finally beat me up to the point where I need to step away for a while. I need to go live life so that I have more real experiences to write down. I won’t be touring this year and it wasn’t even really a decision, it was something I know that I just have to do for myself. A lot of artists do this all the time, but it’s new for me so it’s kind of a big deal in my life.”

Rice does have a handful of shows on the books to wrap this year before taking some downtime away from the road.
