NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Charles Kelley, co-lead vocalist and founding member of the Grammy-winning country trio Lady A, has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a rare type of blood cancer, the singer revealed in a video shared with fans.

Kelley, 45, disclosed the diagnosis Tuesday in an Instagram video posted alongside his wife, Cassie McConnell Kelley, under the caption "A little health update." He said the cancer was discovered after unexplained rib injuries led his doctor to order a series of tests.

"Hey everybody, just wanted to give a quick update on some health issues I'm dealing with. I had a couple random rib fractures that happened, which sparked my doctor into having me do several different blood tests," Kelley said. "And one of the last blood tests we did, they found a blood cancer in there called multiple myeloma, and it's rare."
