ET has confirmed through a source that the longtime country music duo Brooks & Dunn is breaking up.

The source close to the musical twosome says Ronnie has had it with the group and wants to embark on a solo career.

UPDATE:  Jimmy Carter is saying that ET may be incorrect in releasing this statement.  We are waiting for an official statement from the record label.  We will update you as soon as we know something.

UPDATED AGAIN:  It’s Official.  This is from the Brooks & Dunn website:
