Ernest is taking a break from touring to focus on his family. He shared the news in a social media post, saying that he loves performing for his fans every night, but being on the road has "taken its toll" on him and his young son, Ryman. "I'm going to be taking about a month off to reset and spend some time at home with my family," Ernest wrote. "My son, Ryman, is now at the age where every time I get home, he asks me if I'm leaving...and I just can't stand hearing him ask for daddy thru a phone call anymore. I wanna spend quality time at home and pour into that reserve." He did say that he'll be back on tour soon and is excited for what lies ahead.
