Lauren Alaina Cancels Shows Following Father’s Death
On Wednesday, Alaina took to Instagram to share a typed message with her followers, sharing that her father J.J. Suddeth had passed away on Tuesday. As she wrote, “We lost my daddy last night, and I really don’t have words yet.”
“I want to let y’all know that I’m not able to play the three shows I had scheduled for this weekend in Savannah, Virginia Beach, and Charlotte as I am going home to be with my family,” Alaina continued. “Thank you for your prayers and understanding.”
Alaina signed her post by calling herself “Pinky,” which is a nickname given to her by her father. She used the same nickname in an Instagram post last month wishing her dad a happy Father’s Day, featuring photos of them from her wedding.
The singer tied the knot with her husband Cam Arnold in February of this year. The pair hosted a wedding in Nashville attended by over 400 guests, including Jason and Brittany Aldean and Shay Mooney of Dan + Shay.
