Together, Brooks & Dunn released 10 studio albums, two greatest hits sets and a Christmas album.
A final Greatest Hits will be released in September.
The official statement at their website reads:
“After 20 years of making music and riding this trail together, we have
agreed as a duo that it's time to call it a day. 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.
We will release our #1's and then some" on September 8th and bid
you farewell one last time in 2010, with The Last Rodeo Tour...(dates to be
announced).”
