\u201cShe\u2019s the reason I got sober,\u201d Charles told PEOPLE. \u201cShe had so much grace for me through it all. There\u2019s no way she would\u2019ve stayed with me if I hadn\u2019t gotten sober.\u201d<\/p>\n
His latest solo album, Songs for a New Moon, is inspired by Cassie and Ward, with tracks like \u201cTime After Time\u201d serving as love letters to his family:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I sing that song, I don\u2019t think about a relationship \u2014 I think about my son. It\u2019s a promise that I\u2019ll always be there.\u201d<\/p>\n
