“Evan Felker will never be a nobody to me, his friends, family or fans,” Nelson wrote of Felker, 34, who was accused ofghosting and blindsiding his then-estranged spousewith a sudden divorce filing in mid-February, a source told PEOPLE in April.
“I got hurt and I appreciate the support but I’ll never wish for bad things for that man or the Turnpike Troubadours,” Nelson continued. “It doesn’t matter what went down — a wife’s love doesn’t just shut down in 6 months. I didn’t take the Felker name flippantly and any smearing of it isn’t welcome on my page anymore.”
PEOPLE has also confirmed that the Turnpike Troubadours dropped out of their final performances of Lambert’s The Bandwagon tour. Days later, Lambert, 34, revealed she is “happily single” in an interviewThe Tennesseanpublished on Friday.
“Love is a hard road sometimes and it’s been a roller-coaster ride for me, but I’m definitely thankful for all the ups and downs because I’ve had some really good songs come out of it,” Lambert told the outlet. “You’ve got to take the bad parts and put them on paper and then move on to the happy parts.”

On Sunday, Lambert posted an Instagram gallery shouting out her support acts — including Turnpike Troubadours — as she wrapped her Bandwagon tour withLittle Big Town.
“This says it all,” she captioned the collection of images. “One of the most memorable tours of my life. Friends celebrating music together. It doesn’t get much better than that. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us! It means the world! See y’all down the road!”
