Lady A will have to wait just a little bit longer to get back onstage in front of their fans.
Over the weekend, the trio was planning to play their first in-person live show since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic 16 months ago. Unfortunately, though, they never made it to the stage.
A day before the group planned to play Minnesota’s Lakefront Music Fest, a bout of appendicitis sent singer Charles Kelley to the hospital.

They added that they plan to resume performing “the minute [Charles] is cleared by his doctors.”
On Sunday, Kelley posted a hospital selfie, reiterating how “bummed” he was about the unfortunate turn of events. “That’s an understatement,” the singer said.

According to their tour calendar, Lady A’s next shows are a two-night stop at Fort Worth, Texas, honky tonk Billy Bob’s on July 16 and 17.
