Dearly Beloved is the sixth studio album by American rock band Daughtry, released on September 17, 2021, through Dogtree Records. It is the follow-up to Cage to Rattle (2018), and their first album not to be released by RCA Records. It is also the last album to feature original bassist, Josh Paul, original guitarist Josh Steely and drummer Brandon Maclin, who left in 2022, 2023, and 2024 respectively.
To promote the album, the Dearly Beloved Tour was originally scheduled to start in November 2021 and feature Sevendust and Tremonti as co-headliners. However, due to the sudden death of Chris Daughtry's step-daughter, the first shows were rescheduled.
