Trace Adkins is returning to the road after a series of personal setbacks earlier this year.

The singer announced a string of summer tour dates in a press release Wednesday (May 28). The tour will kick off June 5 in Sayreville, N.J. and cover 32 dates before wrapping up in California on Sept. 26.

The good news comes after a devastating year for Adkins that began with a trip to rehab after he had an altercation with an impersonator while headlining the Country Cruising music event. He departed rehab early to be with his father, who fell ill and subsequently passed away in February. Adkins' wife of 16 years, Rhonda, filed for divorce in March.

"I'm excited, recharged and ready to get back on the road," Adkins says. "I owe a debt of gratitude to everyone for the outpouring of encouragement and support over the past few months. It's hard to put into words how much comfort you take from hearing, 'We've got your back.' So these shows are for you guys. Thanks."
