Lady A was just announced as the hosts for CMA Country Christmas, which will air on December 1st, at 8PM San Antonio time.

The host honor is extra-special for Lady A’s Charles Kelley, who recently revealed his rare bone marrow cancer diagnosis.

A month after revealing his diagnosis, Kelley said that his treatments were working, but admitted the side-effects of the drugs were taking a toll:

“The drugs are definitely pretty hard on your body...full-body aches a lot, just kind of constantly achy and really tired...I do have my good days and my bad days”

Jordan Davis, Russell Dickerson, Dan + Shay, and Trisha Yearwood will also be on the show!
