Rascal Flatts Goes Their Separate Ways in 2021
In 2021, the members of Rascal Flatts will be stepping away from the group to pursue solo endeavors.
When Jay DeMarcus thinks about what heās going to miss the most about the band, he says, āIām gonna miss the times that we shared together that no one knows about, that no one sees ā the looks at each other on the stage, the moments that we look at each other and we know that weāre at our best. The time in the trenches that no one knows about that the three of us have shared together that have bonded us together for life is what I will miss the most.ā
Jay admits that their 20 years together havenāt been perfect, but they have bonded them together for life. āYou canāt make up for time spent together,ā says Jay. āNo one can do that, and weāve seen the best of each other, weāve seen the worst of each other. Weāve held each other through the saddest of times, through love and loss, and itās a brotherhood. It has always been a brotherhood and the day that we donāt have that anymore and we canāt just reach out to each other so easily is gonna be very, very sad and heartbreaking for me.ā
But even though Jay, Gary and Joe Don will no longer be working together as Rascal Flatts, Jay says, āI know that when weāre old men together someday, sittinā around on a porch and sharinā old stories and singing āPrayinā for Daylightā when weāre 75, weāre gonna have a heck of a legacy to look back on.ā
