About Charles Kelley & Cassie Kelley:
Charles, one third of the award-winning group Lady A, recently marked two years of sobriety. He first opened up about his decision to focus on his health in August 2022, when Lady A postponed a tour to support his “journey to sobriety,” they shared at the time. Charles has since spoken publicly about his decision and debuted the song “As Far As You Could,” which he called his “goodbye letter to alcohol.” Cassie has also shared her perspective in interviews and discusses why they’ve opted to publicly share their story. She talks about the impact of alcoholism on the family. She’s honest and vulnerable and hopes her journey helps others in navigating this difficult road.
