Known for the family-friendly major hits “Amazed,” “I’m Already There,” “Mr. Mom” and “My Front Porch Looking In,” the group last year saw the departure of lead singer Richie McDonald, who’s off to pursue a solo career.
Lonestar’s current lineup is Cody Collins (who replaced McDonald), Michael Britt, Keech Rainwater and Dean Sams.
Former Lonestar member John Rich went on to create the raucous country-rock duo Big and Rich.
Lonestar’s roots go back 16 years — its 1995 debut single “Tequila Talkin” hit the top 10 on the Billboard country music chart.
The 1999 ballad “Amazed” topped the country and Hot 100 charts, a first since Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton crooned the 1983 crossover hit (and karaoke fave) “Islands in the Stream.”
