Lonestar's imminent split makes tour bittersweet

Being in a band is just like a marriage.

Not only do you have to continuously work to keep it together, but there are times when things just don’t work out. For country band Lonestar, which was formed over a decade ago and has scored numerous hit singles — including “No News,” “Amazed,” “Smile” and more — a break-up appears imminent with singer Richie McDonald recently announcing he’s leaving for a solo project at the end of the year.

But the band has hit the road for a rockin' swan song. That tour brings them to the Chevy Centre on Friday.
