Dixie Chicks Watch: Chicks to Split Up After Grammy Awards?
The Dixie Chicks (L to R) Emily Robison, Natalie Maines and Martie Maguire arrive at the 2006 American Music Awards in Los Angeles in this November 21, 2006 file photo. The Dixie Chicks received five Grammy nominations on December 7, 2006. The 49th Grammy Awards will be held in Los Angeles February 11, 2007.
The National Enquirer: DIXIE CHICKS HATCH PLAN TO SPLIT UP!
The Dixie Chicks are getting ready to fly the coop!
The controversial country superstars have secretly decided to split up after the Grammy Awards – because Emily Robison and Martie Maguire no longer want to share the nest with outspoken Natalie Maines, say sources.
“The Chicks are tired and wrung out,” said a group insider. “They feel they’ve come to the end, and they want a break from each other to spend more time with their families.”
Flap somehow doubts that the Chicks will be breaking up for good. They have taken a hiatus before to have children and spend time with husbands. But, touring and controversy does take a toll.
The three women, who have seven children among them, are at odds over Natalie’s blunt political ramblings. And while sources say sisters Emily and Martie share many of Natalie’s anti-George W. Bush views, they feel her public rants have taken the focus off their music.
“They’ve supported many of her political beliefs, even though it’s put their lives and the lives of their families in jeopardy,” said the insider.
“They’ve received death threats, and it’s made them all nervous wrecks.”
Look for a two year hiatus with some studio work beginning in a year. But, there will NOT be another tour until AFTER the 2008 Presidential campaign.
Television host and comedian Bill Maher (L) presents the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California Bill of Rights award to singer Natalie Maines of the ‘Dixie Chicks’ at the organization’s Bill of Rights dinner in Beverly Hills, California December 11, 2006. The ‘Dixie Chicks’ were honored for their work to help preserve civil liberties and civil rights.
During the hiatus, Natalie can always get a job with Bill Maher or Michael Moore. Oh…………
Check out this video (H/T Allah):
Well, Flap supposes this COULD be the reason for the SPLIT………
But, not likely………
Stay tuned……….
