ERNEST announced he was exiting Langley’s tour on Aug. 28
ERNEST has shared an update since exiting Ella Langley’s tour last month.
On Monday, Sept. 7, the country star shared an Instagram post giving fans an update on how he’s been doing since making the announcement that he wouldn’t be hitting the road with the “Choosin’ Texas” singer, 27.
“Just checking in to say thank you for all the love and support …. Bottom line is I was LOST… i recon I still am … but the search is on…. And that’s new to me….” ERNEST, 34, began the caption.
He added: “If anything, through this time, I am really starting to touch back in with my relationship with God… growing up in the church / Christian school, I would say I got a bit burnt out on it all. I have spent far too long relying on my own (dumbass) way and thinking I can outsmart my better judgement….”
ERNEST, born Ernest Keith Smith, said that was “not the case” and he doesn’t “have many answers at all.”
“But I do know where it’s starting…. A dialogue with something greater than ME,” he wrote. “I can’t define it and don’t know if anyone really can… I just know that I have a beautiful life, family and friends that deserve me at my best. I deserve that for me too…. I’m not preaching by any means…. But I just wanted to let yall know I’m taking this time to dig and discover. I love yall… and I love country music… Il be back to both soon! “
Alongside the caption, ERNEST shared a video of a rainbow, a snap of flowers and a deer, as well as a photo of him sitting in a chair outside wearing a red hat and smoking a cigarette.

On Aug. 28, the Gettin’ Gone” singer announced on social media that he would no longer be Langley on tour because of the impact touring has had on his health.
“Hey y’all. The road has been dragging me down in a bad way. From mental to physical health,” he wrote in an Instagram Stories post at the time.
ERNEST said his absence would only last “for a couple of weeks” so he could get “myself and my priorities back in order.”
“I want to thank Ella for having me out on tour and wishing her the BEST in Auburn tonight and the rest of the tour. I look forward to coming back better and stronger. I owe it to myself and those affected by my actions. That starts now. Love y’all,” he added.
