In 2021, the members of Rascal Flatts will be stepping away from the group to pursue solo endeavors.
1) The name Rascal Flatts doesn't mean anythingIn fact, the band didn't even come up with the name. It was suggested by a friend who had played in a garage band called Rascal Flatts back in the '60s. The trio liked the name so much they signed a contract on a bar napkin to buy the name for $5,000.

When Rascal Flatts performed at a Presidential dinner for the Special Olympics Monday night, the band's Jay DeMarcus got the ultimate high-school troublemaker's revenge, banging away at the piano in the White House's East Room.
Rooney, who lives in Nashville, was involved in a car accident shortly after 4 a.m. on Thursday morning, when his vehicle collided with a tree on Hillsboro Road.
LeVox was born in Powell, Ohio. LeVox and his second cousin, Jay DeMarcus, started out together in singer Chely Wright's band. One day, when the regular guitarist was not available, Joe Don Rooney stepped in. The three men say they felt the chemistry immediately and afterwards formed Rascal Flatts.
Everything from the birthday parties to their meetings to their social gathers were conducted on their 10,700 square feet estate, so it was filmed there as well. Even the camera interviews were held inside a room of their home, which is located in downtown Nashville, inside the gated community of Northumberland.
Rooney serves as a guitarist for the best-selling country music trio. In January 2020, the band announced plans for a farewell tour, which they later canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. "The greatest feeling ever, is being told that our music has been the soundtrack to their lives."
Personal life. On May 15, 2004, DeMarcus married Allison Alderson a former beauty queen who has held the titles Miss Tennessee 1999 and Miss Tennessee USA 2002. DeMarcus met her on the set while filming the video for the Rascal Flatts song, "These Days". Their first child, Madeline Leigh, was born in December 2010.
Since the breakup, LeVox began working on his solo career and has put out singles, including "The Distance" and "Working on Sunday." He confirmed he's "loving it," and said he's inspired by his faith. "I know that's what He's called me to do. I'm just going to stay on my path.
