GARY ALLAN CLAIMS HE WANTS TO BE JUST LIKE B&D WHEN HE GROWS UP

When the Brooks & Dunn tour pulled into Chicago over the weekend, Gary Allan had a little surprise waiting for Kix, Ronnie and the crew. After opening 82 shows for B&D over the years, the country star wanted to profess his gratitude to the duo. To mark the occasion of playing his final date on the Last Rodeo Tour, Allan had a larger than life thank-you banner hanging from the side of his bus when Kix and Ronnie stepped off their buses.  Turns out the man of few words knew just what he wanted to say.
