Jelly Roll just finished his epic Beautifully Broken Tour.  It was 58 sold-out arenas over 13 weeks.

But before his final show Tuesday night, he posted on TikTok and said, quote, “Y’all know I have a very unhealthy relationship with social media.  I have a very unhealthy relationship with phones . . . I’m taking a break.

“It’s been a crazy couple of years and I love y’all so much.  I’m throwing this phone out the window tonight.  I’m going to go phoneless for a few months.”

And when Jelly said “phoneless”, he really meant it.  There’s video of him on a bridge in Nashville throwing it into a river.  He was even Facetiming Bunnie Xo from the phone as it splashed down.

Luckily there wasn’t a police boat down there or it would have been another Morgan Wallen chair-gate situation.
