Brooks & Dunn were not only country music's most successful duo, they were as close as brothers — or so fans believed until Aug. 10, 2009, when the superstar duo abruptly announced their split after 20 years together. The tension between Brooks & Dunn grew so strong in the late 1990s that they recorded songs for an album in different studios and with different producers. Though neither came close to the radio success of Brooks & Dunn, both performers enjoyed successful solo careers. Brooks released New to This Town in 2012, and Dunn released a self-titled solo album in 2011, followed by Peace, Love and Country Music in 2014. In January 2020, they announced plans to reunite for a tour around the project, the 2020 Reboot Tour.
