Kelley has mentioned his sobriety in passing, according to PEOPLE. A recent post from the start of August mentions Kelley’s inclusion in the band’s collaboration with Breland called “Told You I Could Drink.” The post points out that this is ironic because Kelley had stopped drinking.

Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood have shown their support for Kelley by being there for her. They want her to stay on the road to recovery, which means she has all the tools she needs.

“We’re looking forward to making 2023 our best year yet!” The group announced that they were postponing their show. They wanted to make sure that the fans who had already bought tickets would be taken care of. They said all the best to the country star in his recovery.
