Breaking news

Kelsea Ballerini has shared the heartbreaking news that her beloved dog Dibs has been diagnosed with an inoperable cancer and will now be living as many “comfortable and happy days (weeks, months)” as possible.

“My friends,” Kelsea began on an Instagram Story, “I feel pretty disingenuous promoting this album and tracklist reveal (which I am so, so proud of) without updating you on my sweet dibs health.”

“The last few days we have discovered that dibby has inoperable cancer in his heart,” she continued, adding that although “he’s not in pain and luckily it hasn’t spread any further,” Kelsea along with his vets had made the decision to put him on “big meds to try to make sure he can have as many comfortable and happy days (weeks, months) left as possible”.

“It’s a complex and emotional time,” the singer continued, telling fans that Dibs has “been my baby and my steady for the last 9 years and very much alongside this whole journey with us all”.
