Jelly Roll's Beautifully Broken Tour was one of the most successful tours of the year, but as it turns out Jelly wasn't feeling very good for most of it. During an episode of his wife's podcast, he revealed that he was on antibiotics for "70 of the 90 days of that tour." It all started just before the trek got underway, when Jelly ended up in the hospital after he started having stomach pain that pointed to appendicitis or a gallbladder issue. He didn't mention what the tests revealed, but just that surgery wasn't necessary. Jelly also had to get a root canal in the middle of the tour and was dealing with an infection in his jaw. "My husband literally went to the dentist, to the oral surgeon, had surgery on his mouth, pulled up, walked in and walked on that stage," Bunnie shares. "My mouth was still numb," Jelly says. "I did the first three songs feeling like I had slobber coming off my face. He did, however, manage to continue his weight loss journey. Jelly has dropped 140 pounds so far.

Morgan Wallen is going to be getting his bar sign. On December 17th, the Nashville Metro Council voted to allow his request for a sign to be hung above his This Bar and Tennessee Kitchen, almost seven months after they denied his permit application. In a meeting in May, 30 Metro Nashville council members voted against development company 4th Avenue Property LLC's application to construct an "aerial encroachment" at Morgan's restaurant and bar. At the time, Councilwoman at Large Delishia Porterfield referred to his past behaviour while explaining her decision. The sign's approval comes just days after Morgan appeared in court to accept a plea deal in the April chair-throwing incident.
