Luke Bryan canceled his scheduled appearance at the CMT Artists of the Year after the death of his brother-in-law, Ben Lee Cheshire, who passed away Saturday — at the age of 46. Cheshire was the husband of Bryan’s late sister Kelly, who also died suddenly in 2007 — at the age of 39. Bryan’s only brother was killed in a car accident years earlier.

Pretty Little Liars’ Lucy Hale’s first album — Road Between, hit early in 2014. So, it’s time for the singer to hit the road for her first headlining tour…a dream come true for the artist. Songwriter Josh Dorr will open. Lucy’s single, “Lie a Little Better” is climbing the country charts. 

That’s FOX Country on FOX News Radio.
