Rascal Flatts frontman Gary LeVox talks solo career, pays tribute to Loretta Lynn
Musician Gary LeVox tells Fox News Digital ‘it’s different’ not seeing his band members frequently after the split.
"Life is a Highway" singer Gary LeVox is taking a new route in his career, recently announcing that he’s going on a solo tour.
The former Rascal Flatts frontman exclusively told Fox News Digital that it was "weird" and "different" performing without his band members, and noted that everyone’s "doing their own thing."
"Rascal Flatts is kind of taking a break, and it was just time to do something new," LeVox pointed out.
He revealed what he was looking forward to during his solo journey.
"Getting ready to tour next year … coming out with some new music and just enjoying doing something new on my own.

After more than 20 years together as a band, Rascal Flatts decided to part ways after their farewell tour in January 2020. The tour was unfortunately canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The "Fast Cars and Freedom" singer could not single out a favorite memory with the band, saying there are "too many" to count, but one did make an especially big impression.
"Selling out Wrigley Field … being the first country act to ever do that, making history there," LeVox added.
The country star told Fox News Digital that he and his band have been "so blessed" and it’s been a humbling experience to share "amazing success stories" with bass guitarist Jay DeMarcus and lead guitarist Joe Don Rooney.

Fans can continue to hear LeVox’s music, as he recently released a new single called "Get Down Like That."
"Thomas Rhett wrote it with HARDY, Jesse Frasure, Ashley Gorley, four of the biggest songwriters in Nashville … they're killing it," he noted.
