Luke Bryan's not shying away from the tougher parts of his past in his upcoming new docu-series,
Luke Bryan: My Dirt Road Diary.
He'll offer candid reflections on some of his family's darkest days, when tragedy struck the Bryan household in unfathomable ways. In 1996, Luke lost his older brother,
Chris, in a car accident. Then, in 2007, his older sister,
Kelly, died at home of still-unknown natural causes.
Finally, in 2014, Kelly's husband,
Lee, died of a heart attack, leaving the couple's three children parentless. Luke and his wife
Caroline ultimately stepped in to help raise the kids, whose ages at the time ranged from 12 to 20.
