Tim McGraw Addresses Band Shakeup

Gary Miller, FilmMagic

Tim McGraw is known to break up the occasional concert brawl, but is he breaking up his band, the Dancehall Doctors?

The country megastar took to this Facebook page to explain: "As some of you might know, there have been some recent changes in my band. Change can be hard, and it's not something you come to lightly. I couldn't be more proud of the music we've created together over the years, and I'll treasure the memories.

"I know you will join me in wishing everyone only the best in their future endeavors," he continues. "Thanks for all the unwavering support you've shown me over the years, and I can't wait to continue our journey ... See you all soon!"

Hundreds of fans commented with their bewilderment and support, but it's still unclear what sort of shuffle the band line-up is experiencing and which of the Dancehall Doctors will be going along with Tim for his upcoming tour. It's also still a mystery as to whether those leaving are doing so voluntarily.

What I know about Tim Mcgraw and his wife came from some people who know they on a personal basis. she is not a snob and neither is he. my husband and I went on a tour of Nashville and the bus driver will tell you when someone is snobby. they are well informed. this guy said Tim and Faith are the nicest you could meet. I also talked a a guard one night when I went to one of their shows. I went early and me and this nice guard was telling me some things about them,he said they are the sweetest couple and so good with every one who works for them. their first priority is their kids. he said they are so down to earth and just so nice to anybody.

I used to be one of his biggest fans .... that is until I read in 2008 on here that he is a Liberal and voted for Obuma and was making a movie adopting black kids .... so then I started diggin into reports of others about his personality and character such as how he acted when in NYC at 911 . He's a snob and too good to talk to people that put their lives on the line when he was just across the street and they knew it . He never said a word . When him and some of the Dancehall band members had a disagreement and heated convo of his inconsideration of their lives , he just told em to " kiss Off " and leave if they did'nt like it . That's why they wont tell why if it's a volluntary leave or he fired em . He has great music , but all this kills it for me and I hope the band members gave him some knuckle sandwiches for his narcissistic ego that affected their lives . It's not told of course but him and her are in competition and she WAS destroying his career . So he takes his ' little man syndrome " out on his band that stood with him . What goes around will come around . when I hear him on the radio , I just go " change channel time " .

just because he voted for Obama does not make him a bad person and he and Dean are still working together. if the ones he still has wanted to walk out because of what he did,they had their chance to. maybe since they are still with him ,he is not all that bad,as you think. and I know for a fact Tim is a really nice guy and so is his wife. they both do a lot for people. Tim and Faith are not in competition. they each have their own career. Faith is the kind who remembers special occasions,like all the birthdays and does something special for each person who works for them. by the way they have 200 employees.

By the way,people ,Tim Mcgraw was named the best in the last decade and he has 32 no one hits since he started singing. 32 people. and yes I have heard of AK and my husband even likes her music. so do I. Alisson Kraus is very popular,she has never not been popular. I don't know any one who does not like her. by he way,I have all of Tim s music and his wife's. I am a huge fan but i do like other musicians.

he has not had a hit since "like you were dying" where have you been . His latest was no. 1 for 3 weeks,count it 3 weeks. in case you don't remember ,it was "felt good on my lips" and really hot song. he has had some before that one. maybe you don't listen to much radio. my station plays his music every day. today I heard three of his songs on radio within half hour .

I thought so. Too bad your role model cannot sing live. She is a disgrace and what's wrong with the music industry today. Any real musician will tell you that she is a joke. Really. I have heard them say it. And no, they're not jealous, like the people that defend her like to say. I mean really, if I was going to be jealous of anyone, it would be someone that can actually sing. I would be embarassed to be in her shoes. It's a shame that the people around her don't get her a voice coach, but they don't care, all they see is the money. Oh well, I'll get down off my soapbox now. People like you just don't get it, so continue in your ignorance. Enjoy!

Taylor Swift is no country music performer .... she doe'snt have the talent nor the looks and does cross genre junk with the likes of rappers . Her transparency is very obvious and she is sort of in the catagory of used to be , wannabe country music "Jessica Simpson ".

I would like to add what I know. I have met Tim a few times and he has always been nice. He invited me up on stage with him, has signed autographs another time and has gone out of his way at concerts to come over to my husnand and I for a handshake. My husband met someone who works for him and he said that Tim was great and did not act full of himself at all. I know people who work for the Phillies and they say what a great guy he is . He obviously has his demons, like most of us do, but it sounds like he is a really down to earth guy.

You've been totally fooled and played by TIM .... the only reason he was cordial and gave you the time of day was because of his band member's request likely . He is full of himself , and is known to be a snob too many times of course there was a selfish reason for him acting like he is a good boy . I used to be one of his biggest fans until I put all the peices of the puzzle together .

Tim McGraw used to be one of my favorite country artists. But his last 3 albums have been horrible. Dont know what the problem is. Maybe he should shake things up, because he hasnt had a hit since, Live Like You Were Dying!

when you guys read what other non Mcgraw fans say about him that is not good and you agree with it ,that makes no sense. use your own judgement. go to youtube and listen to some of his great music. he has been singing for 22 years and is very good at what he does. he is also a fine actor. and a great family man.

yes,Cheryl I have heard the other artists. I have listened to many other singers, I just happen to be a true Tim Mcgraw fan. I have been to a few of his concerts and i love his music. the DhD's are a good band. but he felt it was time for a change. I love what ever he sings.

Cheryl, I'm a huge Tim fan (love his concerts--he more than gives you your money's worth unlike some other artists). However, I'm not an idiot, I do have taste, and I can't stand Taylor Swift. But I would't go to a story about Taylor Swift and run her down. If you don't like someone, don't read about them and don't listen to them. Pretty simple and not nearly so hateful. It's not personal--it just different taste. Sheesh.
