Brooks & Dunn Announce Dates for Their Final Tour, “The Last Rodeo” :
Duo’s 47-City Farewell Tour to Launch April 23, 2010
 Nashville, TN – Superstar duo Brooks & Dunn said they weren’t about to call it a day as a recording duo without one more chance to party with their fans, and Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn are ready to do it in style with the announcement of dates for their final tour, The Last Rodeo. A celebration of their 20 great years together, the tour will launch on April 23 of next year, with 47 shows running through August 8.
Brian O’Connell, President, Nashville Touring, for Live Nation declared, “The Last Rodeo Tour is going to be a ‘must see’ for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the amazing energy that Kix and Ronnie create on stage. I look forward to seeing what they have up their sleeves on a nightly basis, and I am confident that they will leave everything they have on the stage one final time in each city. Anyone who has ever seen a Brooks & Dunn show knows that they will be coming full tilt! I do not look at this tour as an ending, rather a celebration of their career by two of the greatest Artists that Country Music has ever known.”
The tour follows the recent release of Brooks & Dunn’s career-spanning double-disc collection, #1s … and then some, which features 30 favorites in all, including an amazing 23 #1 hits. Among the songs on #1s … and then some is the smash single, “Cowgirls Don’t Cry,” which earlier this week earned the duo their 15th career GRAMMY Award nomination.

Brooks & Dunn announce split, plan farewell tour in 2010 :
Brooks & Dunn are riding off into the sunset. At least, they're fixin' to do so.
That's what the country duo announced today on its Web site.
"After 20 years of making music ... we have agreed as a duo that it's time call it a day," the message said. "If you hear rumors, don't believe them, it's just time."
Brooks & Dunn will release a compilation disc, "#1's ... and Then Some," on Sept. 8. Their "Last Rodeo Tour" will follow in 2010. Dates and locations haven't been announced.
 The duo has performed several times in the Birmingham area over the past 12 years, including shows at the BJCC Arena and Verizon Wireless Music Center.
Rowdy singer-guitarist Kix Brooks, 54, and smooth-voiced Ronnie Dunn, 56, became a team at Arista Records in 1990. Their debut album, "Brand New Man," came out in 1991 and spawned four top-charting singles: "Neon Moon," "My Next Broken Heart," the title track and "Boot Scootin' Boogie."
Brooks & Dunn have been Nashville stars ever since, releasing multi-platinum discs, winning two Grammys and gathering heaps of accolades in the country-music industry. (Example: fourteen wins as the Country Music Association's Vocal Duo of the Year.)
About 50 Brooks & Dunn songs have made the country charts; 20 of those tunes claimed the No. 1 spot. The most recent was "Play Something Country" in 2005.
Neither musician has ruled out the possibility of a solo career. Also, it's possible the duo will extend its farewell tour after the initial dates are announced. Stay tuned.

Brooks and Dunn Biography (Brief) and Background Information :
Leon Eric "Kix" Brooks III was born May 12, 1955, in Shreveport, La., and worked the club circuit in Alaska and Maine before moving to Nashville in 1979. Ronnie Gene Dunn was born June 1, 1953, in Coleman, Texas, and briefly studied theology at Abilene (Texas) Christian College before moving to Tulsa, Okla. There, he fronted the house band at a popular nightspot called Duke's Country. Later, he broke into the national spotlight by winning a talent contest sponsored by Marlboro.
 In 1990, Arista Records' Tim DuBois put the two hopefuls together. "Brand New Man," the duo's first single, blasted to No. 1 in 1991, followed by the chart-topping "My Next Broken Heart," "Neon Moon" and "Boot Scootin' Boogie." Their debut album Brand New Man has since sold more than 6 million copies. They kept up their winning streak with more No. 1 hits: "She Used to Be Mine," "That Ain't No Way to Go," "She's Not the Cheatin' Kind," "Little Miss Honky Tonk" and "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone."
Dunn usually serves as the lead vocalist while Brooks plays guitar and works the stage. Although they write most of their material, a 1996 remake of "My Maria" spent three weeks at No. 1. They won the CMA entertainer of the year trophy in 1996.
In 1998, a duet with Reba McEntire ("If You See Him/If You See Her") reached No. 1, and they toured together extensively. The duo's 1999 album Tight Rope failed to yield a smash hit, but they returned in a big way with "Ain't Nothing 'Bout You" in 2001. The song spent six weeks at No. 1, and the follow-up "Only in America" became a rallying cry after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The duo also launched the hugely popular Neon Circus & Wild West Show tour, bringing along a variety of up-and-coming acts.
The album Red Dirt Road arrived in 2003, which the duo supported by touring smaller markets. The title track quickly reached No. 1 and received a Grammy nomination. Greatest Hits II in 2004 produced the No. 1 hit, "It's Getting Better All the Time." The following year, the duo released Hillbilly Deluxe, which included the hits "Play Something Country" and "Believe." The duo hosted the CMA Awards in 2004, 2005 and 2006. In 2006, "Believe" won CMA Awards for song and single of the year and Brooks & Dunn won in the vocal duo category. Because Dunn co-wrote "Believe," the victory moved him into first place among all CMA winners, with a total of 19; Brooks is just behind with 18, tied with Vince Gill.
