Morgan Wade has sent up a prayer for her friend Teddi Mellencamp after her brain tumour surgery.
“We’re really blessed to have a bunch of people here with me tonight,” the country singer said in the middle of her concert at El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles.
“If you don’t mind, tonight when you leave here, say a prayer for my good friend Teddi Mellencamp. I went to visit her a little bit ago.”
In the video shared via her close friend Kyle Richards’ Instagram Story, the Wilder Days singer explained that Mellencamp had to have “emergency surgery on her brain to remove some tumours” about a week ago.
“She would be here tonight,” Wade said.
Richards had earlier shared a live stream from outside the concert, sharing, “Morgan Wade is playing in LA tonight. We are getting a group together to go out and have some fun. I think we need a little distraction right now, so I’m looking forward to that.”
Mellencamp shared the news on 12 February that she had been experiencing “severe and debilitating headaches” for weeks – and the pain became “unbearable”.
A CT scan and MRI revealed multiple tumours in her brain, which doctors estimated had been growing for at least six months.
