Luke Bryan comes from a close-knit family, and his Nashville house honors those who are dearest to him.
Due to the tragic deaths of his sister Kelly and brother Chris, the American Idol contestant has experienced some traumatic losses in his immediate family.
In an interview with Billboard in 2018, the country music star discussed the sudden deaths of his siblings. Fans at the time praised him for his bravery and positive outlook on life.
“I’m generally a happy person,” he declared. “The loss we’ve experienced has made me more aware of how precious and fleeting life is. Of course, I use that strategy in both my performances and my daily interactions with other people. I want people to think, ‘That guy doesn’t have a bad day,’ when they meet me. ”.
In his documentary My Dirt Road Bike, he expanded on his outlook on life. I believe we were in Charlotte, North Carolina, he said during a meet-and-greet as he reflected on a specific instance. A typical meet and greet took place. ”.
“This small child with blonde hair approaches me and asks, ‘Can I ask you a question? ‘ And I said, ‘Well, okay, buddy,’ before getting on one knee and asking him, ‘I wanna know how you get through every day, having lost your brother and your sister, because I lost my sister and I can’t get over it. It breaks my heart. ’”.
“It was a pivotal time for me because I understood how important it is for other people that I lead a happy life. It was a major occasion for me. I’ll remember it always. ”.
Just as the musician was about to begin his musical career in Nashville, Chris, Luke’s brother, perished in a car accident in 1996.
His sister Kelly passed away in 2007 from unknown causes. “They were never informed of what took place. No one could figure it out, not the autopsies, not the coroner,” Luke said in 2013.
“It permanently changed my mother’s worldview. She sometimes phones me at random times when she’s having a rough day. When I’m the only one left, she eventually starts to miss my brother and sister in addition to wanting to spend more time with me.
“We give Mama the benefit of the doubt on stuff. The loss of two children has caused her a great deal of suffering as a mother,” Luke revealed in his interview with Billboard. ”.
