Country band Rascal Flatts, which includes Joe Don Rooney of Picher, will perform Wednesday on “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien,” where they will make the TV debut of their new single “Why.” The show starts at 10:35 p.m. on NBC (KFOR-4 in Oklahoma City).
Written by Allen Shamblin and Rob Mathes, the brokenhearted ballad features Gary LeVox singing about a loved one who has committed suicide against a weeping piano and wailing electric guitar.
While on the West Coast, the trio will perform four concerts on its successful “Rascal Flatts American Living Unstoppable Tour,” which continues through October with Darius Rucker as opening act.
Rascal Flatts’ newest CD, “Unstoppable,” has been certified platinum for sales in excess of 1 million. The CD launched as the group’s fourth consecutive studio album opening at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, more than any other country artist in the history on Soundscan. This brings the band’s career album sales to a staggering 20 million units in just this decade, and the group has also amassed 22.5 million digital downloads.
Rascal Flatts is the biggest-selling and grossing group in country music history and has been named a Billboard Top 10 Touring Act in all genres with more venue attendance records than any other country act. The band has sold 4 million concert tickets in four years, including two sold-out stadium shows in Chicago and Columbus, Ohio, and a hometown show for Rooney in Miami, OK, over the summer.
