Kenny Chesney Quit Drinking Alcohol While On Tour
KENNY CHESNEY is 47 years old and still insanely fit. Yes, he’s still eating boring chicken breasts and working out all the time. But he also decided to quit drinking alcohol while on tour last summer, and it paid dividends.
He tells “GQ” quote, “I didn’t drink out on the road, which might surprise some people. I felt better on stage than I’ve ever felt. I wasn’t feeding my body negative things. When I was 27, I didn’t have to make those decisions. Now I do.”
He still eases off when the tour is over, so he doesn’t lose his mind. Quote, “I give myself a break for two or three months to do whatever I want. My body needs it.”
And then after the holidays, he’s back on it. Quote, “I train hard starting the first week in January. I’m pretty tunnel-vision: I know what it takes to do what my body wants when I get up on stage.”
You can check out Kenny’s weekly workout routine and his show-day diet at GQ.com. Or, you can crack open a cold one and listen to his music. I choose option B.
Chris Stapleton Did a Fake TV Ad for an Album Called “Cringeworthy”
In case you missed this: CHRIS STAPLETON did a pretty funny bit on Wednesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel” show. He did a fake TV ad for an album called “Cringeworthy”, which is filled with disgusting song titles.
The idea is that he’s so talented and likeable he can take the most irritating words in the English language and turn them into beautiful songs.
Some of the titles really are irritating, like “Moist”, “Panties”, and “Ladyfriend”. (CAREFUL! NSFW!) Others are borderline offensive.
LUKE BRYAN is very pleased with the opening acts on his Kill the Lights tour. Quote, “When I found out we were able to get LITTLE BIG TOWN, that’s a huge honor for me because they’re headliners.” He’s also excited to have DUSTIN LYNCH back for the second year in a row.
While we’re on the subject: Little Big Town is very happy they’re touring with Luke Bryan. But for a different reason. KIMBERLY SCHLAPMAN says, quote, “We can save money on wardrobe because Luke, Karen[Fairchild] and I can all wear the same jeans.”
