The close friend of the late singer and country singer Matt Kinman, who said he was recently at Bell’s and cared for him for six years as he was enduring a difficult battle with bipolar disorder, is said to have shared the story Save Country Music — who first broke the news — that Bell went missing on August 20.
Bell released his full-length debut album on Bandcamp, I don’t mind if I do it, signed to the Thirty Tigers label in 2014 and later. Best known for his traditionalist honky-tonk country songs “Where Ya Been?” and “The Bullfighter” from his self-titled 2016 Thirty Tigers debut, Bell’s most recent release was a cover of John Lennon’s 1971 ballad “Jealous Guy” from the year 2021.

Man… Luke Bell… what the hell. RIP to a real one. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him and the other day I was just talking about him and wondering what he’s up to. Truly a sad night for country music.
