Oprah Won't Let Go

Rascal Flatts was at Chicago’s United Center last night to tape a surprise appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

The band was tapped by Oprah’s producers to perform on one of their highly-anticipated finale shows “Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular Part 1.” Their performance of “I Won’t Let Go,” from their current Big Machine Records album, NOTHING LIKE THIS is slated to air in the May 23rd episode; check local listings for times.

The show’s staff and producers expressed to the band their desire to have this song performed as the sentiments in the lyrics express their feelings for Oprah.

The Oprah Winfrey Show will air the last new episode of its 25-year run on Wednesday, May 25, 2011.
