Lauren Alaina’s father, J.J. Suddeth, died Tuesday, the country singer announced on social media.
The “Road Less Traveled” singer shared that she was canceling a few concerts to mourn with family.
“We lost my daddy last night, and I really don’t have words yet,” she shared in an Instagram post.
“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.”
Her father’s cause of death was not immediately known.
“Thank you for your prayers and understanding,” she wrote before signing off her post with “Pinky,” a nickname given to her by her dad.
Alaina had been on the road touring with Jason Aldean, and she was also scheduled to perform at the Carowinds Summer Music Festival.
Representatives for Alaina did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Lauren honored her father last month in a series of snaps from her wedding day posted on Instagram.
“Happy Fathers Day to “my old man” with a heart the size of Texas!! I love you so much daddy and hope you have the best day fishin’,” she wrote. “Love, your turd (pinky).”
The country music community showed support for Alaina during her difficult time. Martina McBride wrote, “Sending you so much love.”
Christie Brinkley wrote, “May precious memories of your happiest days together remain fresh forever. Heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. He raised a sweet daughter.”
