WASHINGTON – Country singer Luke Bell has been found dead after being reported missing in Arizona. He was 32.
A spokesman for the Tucson Police Department confirmed Tuesday to TEGNA the singer-songwriter’s death and said the investigation was ongoing. A cause of death was not announced.
Bell’s death was first reported by his close friend and fellow musician Matt Kinman, who shared the news with the blog Save Country Music.
The 32-year-old singer was reported missing on Aug. 20 in Tuscon, Arizona, and according to the music blog, Bell was found “not far from where he went missing.”
Bell was born in Lexington, Kentucky and spent most of his childhood in Wyoming. He debuted on the country music scene in 2014 with his album Don’t Mind If I Do and shortly thereafter landed a record deal with Thirty Tigers in 2016.
Shortly after signing his record deal, he released a self-titled album to critical acclaim. However, his rise to stardom came to a halt when mental health issues surfaced.
“Many had big plans for Luke, but Luke’s plans remained decidedly less ambitious. A tour was planned for fall 2016 to promote the record, but it never materialized.”
Singer-songwriter Margo Price broke the news of Bell’s death Twitter.

“Luke Bell’s struggles are over now, but the legacy of his music remains. And hopefully Luke Bell, like so many troubled troubadours before him, is just beginning to find his audience, worthy recognition and legacy.” shared the blog.
