There was a time when Florida Georgia Line was one of the hottest duos in country music, but it now looks like they may never play together again.
How did it come to this?
Well, at least one of the members — Brian Kelley — says it wasn’t what he wanted to do.

“I will say, when these conversations started happening about extra outlets, the heart of where I was coming from was really having everything stay the same and stay together and also intertwine our solo stuff,” Kelley reportedly said while discussing his split with Tyler Hubbard. “I didn’t see, personally, for me, a need for a break or a reason to stop. Unfortunately, we couldn’t really get on the same page of what that looked like — we’re both chasing separate dreams, but you never know how it may circle back.”
It does sound like Kelley is, at least, leaving the door open for a reunion to happen one day.
“I’m forever grateful for our fans and I love them to death,” he said. “Still hearing our songs on the radio, I’m just really really grateful from the bottom of my heart. Those memories that we made together out there on the road with the fans… they sent us on a ride that we could have never imagined. There’s just so much gratitude.
“Me and Tyler both put records out so we are both really, really focused on our projects and he’s crushin’ it so I’m happy for him. I’m really, really proud of the music I’m puttin’ out. I’m grateful to have this outlet and I love building, I love a challenge and that’s definitely what it is.”
That is a different tune that what Hubbard was singing back before he released his album in April.
“It was a cool season of life,” and I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” he said of his Florida Georgia Line days. “But I don’t want it back. I’m in away different place, and I wouldn’t trade it.”
