One of the rising stars in country music has left us.
In a rather shocking report, Luke Bell, who is only 32, has passed away.
Bell had been missing for more than a week before his body was found.
Unknown
Bell was reported missing in Arizona about a week ago.
His body was found in Tucson, AZ, very near where he had last been seen.
Fellow country singer Matt Kinman announced the death, calling it “heartbreaking.”
Authorities have not announced a cause of death yet, but Kinman did provide some insight.
Kinman noted that Bell has been diagnosed as bipolar and recently had his medication changed.
He believed that might have “played a role” in Bell’s demise.
Bell moved to Texas several years ago to play honky-tonks to get his career started.
After decent success in Texas, he went to New Orleans for a hot minute, then made his way to Nashville.
In 2016, he released an eponymous album and was suddenly on everyone’s radar as a rising star.
While only just getting started, he was one of the more unique voices in country music, drawing comparisons to Waylon Jennings.
Sadly, we will never know his potential.
