Blake Shelton Says He’s Hoping to ‘Cut Back or Stop’ Drinking in 2024

Blake Shelton is hoping for a healthy 2024.

The country superstar shared his New Year’s resolution with Entertainment Tonight this week, noting that in the past, the one that hasn’t stuck is a change in his alcohol habits. “I haven’t managed to stop drinking yet,” he said. “Even cutting back has been hard. I mean, it’s a resolution though. And I’ll say it again right now — that’s my New Year’s resolution. To either cut back or stop drinking altogether. Let’s just say I said it.”

He also plans to have a laid back New Year’s Eve with wife Gwen Stefani, noting that they probably won’t even be awake at the stoke of midnight. “If we’re at home during New Year’s Eve, we’re probably going to bed before it even happens,” he revealed.

It’s gearing up to be an exciting 2024 for Shelton, who announced in October that he’s bringing back his Honky Tonk Tour in the new year. The 17-show trek will kick off in February, and include stops in the United States and Canada, including shows at Moody Center in Austin, Texas; Little Caesars Arena in Detroit; and three shows in Canada, slated for Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; Edmonton, Alberta; and Calgary, Alberta, before wrapping March 29 in Wichita, Kan.

Joining Shelton on the tour in the United States and Canada are Dustin Lynch and Emily Ann Roberts. The tour’s first run began earlier this year, and featured Carly Pearce and Jackson Dean as openers.
