One of the brightest rising stars in the country music scene has passed away.

Luke Bell, who has really taken off over the last six years, is dead.

After being reported missing on August 20, his body was found on Monday in Tucson, AZ.

Sad Day

Bell went old school to make it in the industry.

He picked up everything and moved to Texas to earn his way playing local honky-tonks.

Then he went to New Orleans for a spell, finally winding up in Nashville.

In 2016, he released a self-titled album that got a lot of attention.

In fact, there were comparisons to Waylon Jennings.

Bell’s friend, fellow singer Matt Kinman confirmed the death.

While no cause of death was listed, Kinman did say that Bell was bipolar and recently underwent a medication change, which could have contributed to his death.
