Tim McGraw will soon be hitting the road with his Shotgun Rider Tour, and during the summer he’ll be visiting some fairs and festivals, but don’t expect to find him on any amusement rides. “I don’ know what it is, I can’t ride amusement rides,” confesses Tim. “I actually, we were in Paris and got on that Ferris wheel they had in Paris for a while. I literally froze with fear, I couldn’t move. If somethin’ were to happen to my kids … I couldn’t have done it.”
Tim McGraw’s latest single, “Diamond Rings and Old Barstools,” off of his Sundown Heaven Town album, is currently in the top 15 on the charts and continuing to climb.
