Lady A -- which also includes Scott and Dave Haywood -- first shared news of of the tour's postponement and Kelley's recovery in an Instagram post on Aug. 4.

\"We have decided to postpone our Request Line Tour until next year. Being on the road with our fans is our greatest joy, so it was a hard but important decision to make,\" they wrote. \"We are a band, but more importantly…we're family. We're 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,\" they continued. \"It's early on this road, but we are determined to do what will best set us up for many more years together. We're grateful for your patience.⁣⁣\"
