If catching Darius Rucker in concert is on your bucket list, you better start searching for tickets soon. The acclaimed musician is not planning to perform hits like "True Believers" or "Wagon Wheel" indefinitely; instead, Rucker has developed a clear exit plan, and it is coming sooner rather than later.
Earlier this month, Rucker shared his intentions with radio host Dan Patrick. During an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show, the 60-year-old artist revealed that he plans to retire from touring in "two years." Rucker noted that the demanding nature of the road, which included 110 shows last year alone, has begun to take a significant toll on him.
"I’m looking at maybe doing a tour, one more big Hootie thing... if we call it, I gotta do one more Hootie thing," Rucker explained. "Cause we have to finish at Williams-Brice Stadium. Our last show, when we say we’re done, it’s gotta be at Williams-Brice Stadium."
Despite his desire to step back from the stage, Rucker emphasized that he still finds joy in creating music and connecting with live audiences. However, he admitted that he has developed a growing appreciation for his time at home. "I like being home a lot," he said.
