Jelly Roll announced that he is taking an indefinite hiatus from touring following a tumultuous year in his personal life.
While performing at the Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 28, the 41-year-old country star, who recently finalized his divorce from his ex-wife Bunnie Xo, 46, revealed that he would not be hitting the road again for the foreseeable future.
“This has truly been a lifetime experience for me,” the “Save Me” singer told the crowd, via Country Now. “And in a couple of nights, I go to Colorado Springs and do my last show for a year or two. I’m fixing to take some time off and heal. Thank you for the opportunity.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to Jelly Roll’s representatives for comment.
The July 28 concert in Salt Lake City marked the final stop on Jelly Roll and Post Malone’s co-headlining BIG ASS Stadium Tour Part 2. Jelly Roll gave his final scheduled performance at his solo show at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on July 30. Per Jelly Roll’s official website, the rapper has no upcoming concert dates.
Jelly Roll’s break from touring comes after he and Bunnie split following almost 10 years of marriage. The two first met in 2015 at a concert in Las Vegas and they eloped a year later. Following their marriage, she became a stepmother to the country singer’s daughter, Bailee, and son, Noah.
The “Son of a Sinner” hitmaker filed for divorce from Bunnie on May 18, but he listed the date of separation as May 9. Jelly Roll, whose real name is James DeBoard, cited “irreconciable differences” as the reason for the split. The former couple finalized their divorce in early July.

Terms of their settlement remain confidential. However, People reported at the time that the former couple would split their assets, including homes, cars, an aircraft and any intellectual property.
Additionally, Jelly Roll would make a “one-time, confidential lump sum payment to Bunnie, so there will be no alimony claims to be made in court,” the outlet reported.
Jelly Roll previously shut down speculation that infidelity led to the split, telling fans “nobody cheated on nobody,” a claim later echoed by his daughter Bailee. Bunnie also denied that either she or Jelly Roll were unfaithful, saying on her “Dumb Blonde” podcast that “nobody cheated.”
Last month, Bunnie made headlines after she was seen kissing reality TV personality Dylan Wolf at Jelly Roll’s Goodnight Nashville Bar over the Fourth of July weekend. She later said on her podcast that she wasn’t dating the “Calabasas Confidential” star, describing the PDA as part of her “hot girl summer” and adding that Jelly Roll “gets it.”
In a since-deleted June podcast episode, Bunnie claimed that Jelly Roll had “started dating” again after their split.
Since the split, Jelly Roll has remained focused on his career, releasing the inspirational single “Hands Up” in June. The country star, who has lost 275 pounds over the last few years, has also continued to chronicle nearly every step of his health journey, celebrating both major milestones and the everyday habits that have fueled his transformation.
Despite untangling their finances and going their separate ways, Jelly Roll and Bunnie have made it clear they aren’t severing every tie.
She said on a since-deleted episode of her podcast that the former couple still plans to have a baby via surrogate and co-parent after their divorce, and Jelly Roll later told fans that “every word” of her podcast was “the truth” while calling her his “best friend.”
