Lady A shared a âhard but important decisionâ on their social media channels on Thursday (August 4). The âSummer State of Mindâ trio opted to postpone their âRequest Line Tourâ until next year, they announced in a message to ticket holders.
âWe are a band, but more importantlyâŚweâre family,â Lady A â made up of Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood â shared in their statement. âWeâre proud to say that Charles has embarked on a journey to sobriety. So, right now in order to be the healthiest, strongest and most creative band we can be, Lady A will take the time with the support of our families and team of professionals to walk through this together. Itâs early on this road, but we are determined to do what will best set us up for many more years together. Weâre grateful for your patience.âŁâŁ
âThis update is coming in real time, but in the coming days, your point of purchase will be in touch with new ticket information,â the statement continued. âWeâre looking forward to making 2023 our best year yet!âŁâŁâ
Lady A previously announced the âRequest Line Tourâ in April, bringing along special guest Dave Barnes. They opened a request line so fans could âtell us what you want to hear at one of our shows and we might just add it to our setlist!â They shared âa little snippetâ of their inspiration, a throwback clip of the group covering a song from Disneyâs Frozen during a concert.
