Country superstar Jelly Roll is stepping off the stage, revealing to fans that he plans to pause touring for up to two years following his divorce. Speaking during a concert performance, the singer announced that his final scheduled show will mark his last live performance for “a year or two” as he takes time to heal, according to Country Now. Jelly Roll—whose real name is Jason DeFord—thanked fans for their unwavering support throughout his career but offered no specific details on what he needs to heal from. The decision arrives alongside a major personal upheaval. DeFord filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo, real name Alisa DeFord, in Tennessee after nearly 10 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. The split was swiftly resolved with a one-time lump sum payment as part of the settlement. The breakup marks the end of a tumultuous relationship that included a brief 2018 split over infidelity. Addressing her decision to forgive him at the time, Bunnie Xo told People, “I did leave him, and we were split for about 30 days... But I just loved that man so much that I just really, truly believe that he deserved a second chance.”
