Jake Worthington is taking time away from music to focus on his health, his recovery, and his family.
In a social media statement shared Friday, May 22, the country singer told fans he needs a break so he can heal and spend more time with his wife and daughter. He did not share specific details about what led to the decision, but he made clear that the time away is personal and necessary.
Worthington said he plans to come back better after taking space for himself. His message was met with support from fellow country artists and fans, many of whom praised him for putting his well-being first.
The Texas native is known for his traditional country sound and first gained national attention as the runner-up on Season 6 of The Voice. He has since built a loyal following with music rooted in classic country influences.
Worthington’s public schedule shows a break in live dates until late July.
