Charles Kelley downs a pint of ice cream every night and drinks about 15 cans of LaCroix a day, he reveals in a new interview with Men’s Health about his sobriety. However, he’s also been exercising six days a week and going for 5 a.m. runs since giving up alcohol.
Last August, Lady A unexpectedly called off their Request Line Tour so Charles could pursue his sobriety. When the trio hits the road in 2023, there won’t be any booze backstage. Charles remembers earlier in his career not quite being able to understand why veteran artists would have a dry tour.
“They’ve been doing this thing for 15, 20 years and are in the same spot that I’m in right now,” he explains. “What do you want out of this life? Do you want to wreck your family and your career? Or do you want to put some things into place to keep it successful?”
Lady A has a full schedule ahead, starting February 22 in Detroit. Charles just released his latest solo effort, “As Far As You Could,” which is about his struggle with alcohol.
