Jelly Roll Pauses Touring for 1 to 2 Years After Divorce From Bunnie Xo

Q: Why is Jelly Roll suddenly halting his tours at the peak of his career, and what does this mean for his upcoming album?

Jelly Roll appears to be halting touring because he says he needs time to “heal,” not because his music career is slowing down. At a Salt Lake City concert, he told fans he would stop performing for “a year or two” after his final scheduled show in Colorado Springs, and his official site now shows no new dates. While he has not given a detailed explanation, the timing points to a mix of exhaustion and personal strain after an intense run of touring, major career milestones, a widely reported divorce from Bunnie XO, and his very public health and weight-loss journey. What makes the decision notable is that it comes at a commercial high point, not a downturn. Jelly Roll has just come off a major touring cycle that included his own Little Ass Shed Tour and stadium shows with Post Malone. He was also recently inducted into the Grand Ole Opry and has remained active musically, including the release of “Hands Up.” For the upcoming album, the break from touring does not appear to mean a pause in recording. The available reporting suggests the opposite: his recording career is still active, and he has been teasing a follow-up to 2024’s Beautifully Broken. In practical terms, the hiatus likely means fewer live dates and a shift toward writing, recording and planning the next era from off the road. There is no confirmed delay or cancellation of the album, but its rollout may rely more on singles, collaborations and digital promotion than on a conventional tour.

Jelly Roll told fans his July 30 show in Colorado Springs would be his last for “a year or two,” saying he plans to step away from touring to “heal.”
The 41-year-old made the announcement days earlier at Salt Lake City’s Rice-Eccles Stadium, shortly after wrapping his co-headlining stadium run with Post Malone; his website now lists no upcoming concert dates.
The break follows his divorce from Bunnie Xo, 46, which was finalized in early July after he filed in May and cited irreconcilable differences.
Settlement terms were kept confidential, though reports said the former couple would split assets and resolve support with a one-time lump-sum payment.
Despite the split, both have denied infidelity and said they remain close, with Bunnie saying they still plan to welcome a child via surrogate and co-parent.
