American Idol judge reveals the reason why he sings
In an exclusive interview with People, Luke Bryan talks about the loss that he went through in his life. The 45-year-old realizes that life can be taken away in an instant. Songwriting brought him a sense of healing after this tragedy. He suffered many losses in his family.
But it allowed Bryan to raise his late sister’s three children. His grief gave him purpose and helped him find joy once again. He lost his older brother, Chris at age 26 from a car accident. His older sister, Kelly, died at 39 from natural causes. Seven years later, her husband, Lee died at the age of 46 from a heart attack.
“I’ve had so many tragedies in my life,” Bryan said. “It’s almost like you don’t want to tell the story because you don’t want to feel like you’re out there craving sympathy.”
Bryan has never let his tragedies overcome him. Instead, he worked through them. He will discuss them further in his new docu-series, Luke Bryan: My Dirt Road Diary. All five episodes are available on IMDb TV, Amazon’s new premium free streaming service. It includes never-before-seen interviews and rare footage from Bryan’s life and career.

“If I can inspire people to move on from tragedy, hopefully by my behavior,” Bryan said, “That’s what life’s all about for me.”
He counts his blessings since he’s an optimistic person. He had to go through the darkness to find the light in these tragedies. Bryan is still deeply connected to his brother, sister, and brother-in-law. He feels that he has three guardian angels watching over him.
