Within the next year, Jelly Roll will be undergoing major surgery to help improve his quality of life. The “Need a Favor” singer explained that his healthier lifestyle has helped them achieve major weight loss and, as a result, he now has loose skin that actually interferes with his daily functions. Jelly Roll admits another benefit of the skin removal surgery will be the added confidence to pose shirtless on the cover of “Men’s Health” magazine in 2027. Until then, the country rocker is relishing in the fact that he will soon be under 300 pounds for the first time since middle school. In a couple of weeks, Jelly Roll will be able to flex some of that confidence as one of the honorees at the 18th annual Academy of Country Music Honors. Eric Church, Luke Combs, Randy Travis, Cody Johnson and Lainey Wilson are also among this year’s class of artists who will be recognized for their contributions to country music.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
