Country music’s girl group, the Dixie Chicks, are reportedly ready to split after the upcoming Grammy Awards, the trusty National Enquirer reports.

The sketchy-at-best-tab is reporting group members Emily Robison and Martie Maguire are fed up with the loose cannon that is third member Natalie Maines.

“The Chicks are tired and wrung out,” a source told the Enquirer. “They feel they’ve come to the end, and they want a break from each other to spend more time with their families.”

The group has received death threats and has been boycotted by music fans across the United States since Natalie made anti-George W. Bush comments regarding the so-called war on terrorism in Iraq.

“[Emily and Martie have] supported many of [Natalie's] political beliefs, even though it’s put their lives and the lives of their families in jeopardy,” said the insider.

“They’ve received death threats, and it’s made them all nervous wrecks.”

The Dixie Chicks latest project, Shut Up and Sing is a documentary detailing the backlash the group received from the Bush comments. The three Chicks have recently been on the road to support the flick.
