Together through it all. Lady A musician Charles Kelley and his wife, Cassie McConnell, have weathered some tough times during their relationship.

Lady A’s Charles Kelley admitted when it came to his alcoholism, he was in denial because he wasn’t "living on the street" or "waking up in a bush."  But his marriage to Cassie McConnell almost ended during a vacation to Greece after the country star stayed out all night drinking after a fight.  "At that point, I thought I was fully flying back to the U.S., going to meet with a divorce attorney, like, that was it," McConnell told Gayle King in a CBS interview Wednesday.  "Basically, we got in an argument, and I, like, just turned my phone off in, you know, the middle of nowhere and just took off and stayed up drinking with all these like random people I didn't know," Kelley explained.  "I had one of those moments where I'm just like, 'I'm so sick of being told what to do,' and I turned off the phone. I didn't realize I had eight of my friends looking for me all night."  McConnell said she "never went to sleep" that night.

Lady A will not be going on tour anytime soon. The country group shared Thursday on social media that member Charles Kelley is on his "journey to sobriety," and therefore, their "Request Line" tour will be postponed. They wrote, "We are a band, but more importantly…we're family."           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Lady A (@ladya) The group, formerly known as Lady Antebellum, consists of Kelley, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood.  They continued, "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."  The band had previously gone on hiatus in 2015, and Kelley pursued a solo career.
