Several music industry observers were stunned and surprised over the statement made by the famous duo 54-year-old Kix Brooks and 56-year-old Ronnie Dunn, that the time for split has come.
Singer/guitarists Brooks and Dunne said in a statement,
“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,”
About their splendid music career together, the duo said,
“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.”
The dates of their next year’s farewell tour are yet to be announced. Back in 1991, Brooks and Dunn hit the charts for the first time. Soon they became the biggest-selling duo in history of country’s music. According to Nielsen SoundScan, in United States the duo sold 22.3 million albums.
The U.S. country singles charts were topped by them 20 times with tunes such as “Brand New Man,”, the title track from their debut album and a patriotic 2001 anthem, “Only in America,”. The anthem was used during the election campaign by both parties. The duo also performed at several Republican events.
Brooks and Dunn also won a couple of Grammy awards and dozens of other music related honors.
