Randall King is taking a step back from touring to focus on himself, his personal life, and his faith. In a candid message shared with fans on Wednesday, the Texas native revealed that he is seeking professional help as part of the process.
“It’s easy to get lost in this world. Sometimes you have no idea how deep into it you are until you step back and look,” he began.
King went on to share that he has taken time to reflect on parts of his life that need attention and admitted some of the “choices” he has made have impacted his loved ones.

“Over the past couple weeks, I’ve dug deep and taken a hard look at areas of my life that need serious attention and change because not only have my choices affected myself, they have affected the people I love the most,” he continued.
The “You In A Honky Tonk” singer shared that he is leaning on his faith during this chapter of his life.
“My faith comes first, and right now I don’t feel right stepping on stage without the confidence that I’m living as the man God has called me to be,” he added. “For that reason, I’m pausing touring for the time being. I’m actively seeking professional help and focusing on my faith, my health/mental health, and my family.”
He admitted that the decision to cancel or postpone shows was difficult but necessary.
“It’s so hard for me to cancel shows because touring has been my life for the last decade,” King honestly shared. “But for the sake of my faith, my family, and my fans, I have to be authentic in this change in my life, and walk by Faith.”
He promised to return to the road stronger than ever and thanked fans for their support.
“Let me take this time, commit to getting well, and through this, return stronger, focused, and more grateful than ever,” he wrote. “I’ve always looked at music as a way to heal, but this is bigger than music. I appreciate any prayers you have. Through God’s grace and mercy, I will rise from this and see y’all soon.”

Several of King’s upcoming tour dates are postponed, while others have been cancelled. Fans can visit his official website for the latest.
The news comes just weeks after Randall King released his new single, “Thinkin’ ‘Bout Drinkin’.” The track offers fans a preview of what’s to come following his 2024 project Into The Neon. Written by Don Sampson, Monty Holmes, and Troy Cassar-Daley and produced by Jared Conrad, “Thinkin’ ‘Bout Drinkin’” explores a narrator wrestling with temptation in the wake of heartbreak.
King is the father of Paisley Leanna, whom he welcomed with fiancée Brittany Warthan in April 2025.
