Celebrating The Oak Ridge Boys On Their Farewell Tour
The Oak Ridge Boys are embarking on their “American Made: Farewell Tour,” celebrating their iconic career. While they plan to continue performing into 2024, health considerations have led to a reduced tour schedule. Don’t miss the chance to see them live and bid farewell.
The legendary Oak Ridge Boys have embarked on their “American Made: Farewell Tour,” and it’s a must-see event for country and gospel music fans. Here’s the scoop on their farewell journey.
Farewell Tour Announcement
The Oak Ridge Boys have officially labeled their upcoming tour a “farewell tour.” While the farewell title might sound bittersweet, it’s essential to note that they intend to keep performing into 2024, albeit with a reduced number of shows. The decision to scale back their tour schedule is attributed to various factors, including aging and health concerns.
Joe Bonsall, one of the Oak Ridge Boys, mentioned the challenges they’re facing. “My legs aren’t what they used to be,” he shared, reflecting on the need to sing from a stool in recent years. Despite these challenges, the band members remain passionate about their music and performances.
A Storied Career
The Oak Ridge Boys’ farewell tour is a chance to celebrate a remarkable career that has spanned decades. Formed in 1973, the group has enjoyed immense success, including seventeen No. 1 hits. Some of their most iconic songs include “Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight,” “Trying to Love Two Women,” and the timeless classic, “Elvira.” Their contributions to gospel and country music have earned them a place in both the Gospel Music Hall of Fame (inducted in 2000) and the Country Music Hall of Fame (inducted in 2015).
What Lies Ahead
While there’s no official end date set for the Oak Ridge Boys’ final show, it’s common for legendary artists to extend their farewell tours. Other artists like Alabama, George Strait, and Shania Twain have followed a similar path. The band plans to continue performing their greatest hits and cherished gospel songs, ensuring that their farewell tour is a musical journey down memory lane for fans.
