August 11th, 2009 | by admin |
Country music duo Brooks & Dunn, whose honky-tonk bravado catapulted them to the top of the charts for almost two decades, said on Monday they would break up after a farewell tour next year.
Singer/guitarists Kix Brooks, 54, and Ronnie Dunn, 56, said in a statement that “it’s just time” for the split, which surprised music industry observers.
After 20 years of making music and riding this trail together, we have agreed as a duo that it’s time call it a day,” they announced on their official website. “This ride has been everything and more than we could ever have dreamed. We owe it all to you, the fans. If you hear rumors, don’t believe them, it’s just time.”
Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn joined forces under the moniker of Brooks & Dunn in 1990. Together, they have dropped at least 10 studio albums and five hits compilations. Their records have sold more than 30 million copies and earned them two Grammy awards.
