Although Luke Bryan is one of the cheeriest performers in country music right now, he has experienced his fair share of ups and downs.
Coming from a close-knit family, the singer and judge on American Idol suffered a devastating blow when his brother Chris and sister Kelly passed away unexpectedly when they were still young.
Before airing his docuseries Luke Bryan: My Dirt Road Diary in 2021, Willie Geist talked about his brothers and the emotional anxiety that occasionally came with talking about them.
When asked about his older brother’s death, he stated, “When Chris went away, it was tragic because no one was more excited about my moving to Nashville than he was. He was referring to his recent move to Nashville.
When Willie asked Luke if he had any hesitations about sharing everything, Luke replied, “When you start talking about the deaths of your siblings, you almost get an anxious feeling about having to tell people about the awful parts of your life. “.
The angry country singer continued, “But then I remember that there are people out there who have gone through the same experiences I have.
“And, in the end, what we’re trying to do is convey the narrative, or, as we like to call it, my dirt road diary,” the author writes.
After Luke’s brother-in-law passed away from a heart attack seven years after Luke’s sister passed away, Luke and his wife Caroline decided to adopt their three nieces and nephews.
The Crash, My Party singer, talked about his response to the terrible events when Billboard questioned him about his mental health in 2018.
I’m usually a delighted person, he declared. “Due to the tragedy our family has gone through, I now have a deeper appreciation for life’s value and precariousness. “.
“And you can bet that’s the attitude I bring to both my performances and my daily interactions with people. I want people I meet to think of me as someone who “isn’t having a bad day,” and I want them to be impressed when they meet me. “.
