Country singer Jelly Roll isn’t afraid to show his emotions, in person or through his music. The country singer’s songs resonate with listeners in a way few artists can do. The “Need a Favor” singer left fans in tears with a recent heartfelt announcement. Keep reading to find out what’s going on.
Jelly Roll Makes Fans Cry With Recent Announcement
Jelly Roll has been in the music industry for decades. But he only achieved mainstream success a few years ago with his hit song “Son of a Sinner.” His career exploded seemingly overnight. Despite his massive success, he couldn’t tour overseas because of his felony record.
The country star has openly shared about his multiple prison stints that began when he was a teenager. He threw himself into music after getting out of prison. The Antioch, Tennessee, native is now a global superstar. But he’s never forgotten his roots. He still lives in Tennessee with his wife, Bunnie Xo, and his children.
Jelly Roll finally toured overseas this summer when musician Post Malone invited him to join him. After selling out venues in the U.S., the duo went to various stops around Europe. But all good things must come to an end.
After months of traveling together, Post Malone and Jelly Roll performed their final concert together, at least for this year. Post Malone is already planning a 2026 summer tour with the “Save Me” singer.
Every stop on the tour ended with Jelly Roll thanking Post Malone for inviting him on the tour. But the last tour stop on the Big A** Stadium Tour was more emotional than usual.
The “I Am Not Okay” singer shouted out Post Malone as a family man loved by everyone, including the crew and concertgoers.
He started a “We Love You, Posty” chant. An emotional Post Malone gave his friend and tour-mate a huge hug as the crowd cheered.
Social media followers couldn’t help but cry at the heartwarming moment. One fan wrote, “What a raw brotherly moment.” Another added, “That sh** gave me chills. Thats dope asf for him to show his appreciation even tho he’s a big star himself.”
A third follower wrote, “this is the kind of friendship the world deserves,” while another said, “This is when friends become brothers.”
