I love the song "Drink a beer". I lost my younger and brother and sister in a car accident in 2008. I miss them so much. My sister was 20 and my brother was 16. My sister was only 15 months younger than me. She was my best friend. Thank you Luke. Love your # 1 fan.

Such a wonderful, spiritual man Luke is. I lost a brother to drugs and I know the pain, and it haunts me to this day. I tried over the years to help him, but deep down inside of me I know it had to be him that wanted the help. He left a beautiful note, thanking everybody and tell us all he was so sorry for the pain he caused us over the years. Luke, your share of your siblings brought tears to my eyes and I wish you Peace within you. HUGS !!! <3

Finally somebody in mainstream music who came out and gave a shout out to the Allmighty

Man, great guy. Don't get me wrong, I love all country Alan Jackson, brooks and Dunn etc, but I love how modern country is evolving. And Luke Bryan is doin a damn good job of keeping the music fresh sounding

Never thought a song called "Drink A Beer" would have so much more depth than what the title portrays.

[@Jewelzybugg123]

This was so very touching...and it hits close to home for me. As I just lost both of my parents three weeks apart from each other. Luke, you're music just got a whole lot more meaningful to me ♡

[@beckyjohnson6137]

The song "Drink a Beer" is a very touching song. It's one of my favorites and I've never really been a fan of country music. Now I can't stop listening on Luke Bryan is one of my favs.

[@amandas3095]

Just came across this. Just lost my big brother (and only sibling) about 3 weeks ago. He was only 30... This really hit deep for me. The pain of losing someone so close who had their life cut short is incredibly difficult. I can't imagine having two sibling deaths!

[@PrinceFansUnite2010]

I think Luke has the most beautiful wife that Nashville has ever seen. She's knock down beautiful. It's not a fake beauty it's a natural beautiful.

[@jennifertriplett1455]

I lost my brother in 1997. You never heal from it. I think about my brother everyday! R.I.P. WILLIAM LEE MANOR!!!! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@donnagotsch3519]

I'm so touched on his sad story. Made me cry . 😢Luke is such a handsome guy . Great performance and so talented. LOVE YOU LUKE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@haydencook682]

Good grief man...I've never been a huge fan of his style, but I just gained a ton of respect for him.

[@alisharichard8925]

I couldn’t imagine not knowing why a sibling passed so young. So sad. He is so humble and kind for all he’s been threw. He gives me hope to get threw my hard times.

[@lindabrott69]

I lost my 20 year old nephew last year then when we thought it could not get any worse my 25 year old niece died 5 weeks later! They we're brother and sister Thank you Luke for helping me thru such a hard time!

[@joshuapatton99]

his ability to over come that much loose and still be a guy you love to go have a beer with, with that much fame is just overwhelming and cool as hell looking forward to more music from this guy

[@debbiepearce322]

I feel his heartache. I lost my dad when I was 16. I just lost my husband 9 months ago. He's an awesome performer, husband , dad & all out person. There's nothing phony about him.

[@fazeislife6983]

It was really sad when he said my two best siblings were gone in a flash I almost started crying hang in there luke just remember all of your fans love you and are always with you and remember your brother and sister will always be with you to
