Darius Rucker seems to be thinking about retirement enough, that he answered with an exact timeline when he was asked about it.

“Two Years.”

He continued:

“I’ve been really looking at it, and I played 110 shows last year...I mean, what am I doing? I still like making records and playing and everything, but I’m really starting to like being home a lot”
