Darius Rucker Says February Arrest 'Sucks' But He's 'Paying the Price and We'll Move On'

Country star and Hootie & the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker's new memoir 'Life's Too Short' is out now.

The Grammy-winning singer found himself in a strange sort of legal limbo this past winter: though he’d been pulled over in February 2023 and released without charges, he learned months later that there was a warrant out for his arrest. For now, Rucker is focused on the release of his new memoir, which covers all aspects of the musician’s life, from his humble beginnings in South Carolina to the hard-partying peak of his Hootie & the Blowfish fame. It also covers his past issues with substance abuse during Hootie’s heyday, and the ultimatum his ex-wife Beth gave him that helped him quit hard drugs, and which he now credits with saving his life.
