Lady A’s Charles Kelley Diagnosed With Rare Blood Cancer

Charles Kelley, one-third of country group Lady A, has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare form of blood cancer affecting plasma cells in bone marrow.

Kelley revealed the news in a social media video alongside his wife Cassie, saying random rib fractures led doctors to order blood tests that uncovered the diagnosis. Despite the news, he remains upbeat.

“Right now I feel great,” Kelley told fans.

The condition is currently considered incurable but can enter long-lasting remission with treatment. The five-year survival rate sits at around 64 percent.

Kelley plans to keep performing and recording, noting treatments have advanced significantly. “I feel really hopeful,” he said, comparing his outlook to his well-documented sobriety journey.
