Lady A singer Charles Kelley says he's been diagnosed with blood cancer. Jason Kempin/Getty Images Lady A’s Charles Kelley says he has been diagnosed with blood cancer. The singer shared the news via an Instagram post on the page of his wife, Cassie Kelley, explaining that he’d seen a doctor for rib fractures, which prompted a series of blood tests that discovered a rare cancer called multiple myeloma.
“I’m young, I feel healthy and the treatments, I will say, have just come so far even in the past five years, even life expectancy far exceeds what it used to be,” Kelley said, who added he also has a friend navigating the same diagnosis. “Just getting this off your chest is so freeing and takes the power away from it a little bit,” he continued, discussing how impactful it has been for him to also share his recent sobriety journey openly with fans. “We’re gonna get through it.”
