Jelly Roll has officially started his break from touring after wrapping up what he says will be his final show for the next year or two.
The country singer closed out his run with a headlining performance in Colorado Springs on Thursday (July 30), just days after telling a Salt Lake City crowd he planned to step away from the road.
“This has truly been a lifetime experience for me,” Jelly Roll told concertgoers during the final stop of Post Malone‘s Big Ass Stadium Tour.
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.
