Christian music star Lauren Daigle put her album preview concert on hold Monday to host a prayer vigil in honor of the victims of Monday’s deadly shooting at Covenant School in Nashville.
Three students and three adults died after 28-year-old Audrey Hale, a biological woman who identified as a transgender man, entered the school with two assault-type guns and a 9-millimeter pistol.

“Today’s shooting is truly heartbreaking for our Nashville community and all of those impacted,” Daigle said in a statement posted to her Instagram. “I’m going to postpone my performance tonight, and in its place, host a community-wide Prayer Vigil.”
“To everyone who was planning to come out, please join us as we share in a time of prayer and worship to honor the victims and everyone in need.”
The Grammy Award-winner was set to preview her third studio album at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works.
