Originally from Wyoming, the music star released his first project in 2014 and called it “Don’t Mind If I Do.” He was signed into the label Thirty Tigers after only two years and had a very successful career. He continued to create music, and his final single, Jealous Guy, was released in 2021.
According to the Saving Country Music blog, the music star went missing on the 20th of August, near 4th Avenue in Tucson. When this happened, he was going on a Trip to Tucson with Matt Kinman. Kinman is a close friend of the deceased music star and also a country recording artist himself.
Quoting Kinman, “We came down here to Arizona, to work down here, play some music, and he just took off. He was in the back of the truck. I went in to get something to eat. I came out, and he’d got out of the truck and left.”

Saving Country Music blog also reported that the music star suffered from bipolar disorder. Bell was reportedly “hiding a severe battle with bipolar disorder that he ultimately would never shake.”
In addition, Kinman confirmed to the blog that the location Bell was found was in close proximity to where he had vanished, and it was also not a first-time occurrence. Reports added that Bell would “end up in hospitals, or at times, incarcerated.”
However, according to Kinman, Bell’s mental health condition had improved in the past year. He was using his medications dutifully and receiving treatments that were helpful to him. Kinman noted that Bell’s medication for this disorder recently changed, and there is a possibility that it contributed to his last attack.

I can vividly remember the first time I met Luke at Hole in the Wall over a decade ago, down to the clothes on his back. The man (and his music) left an impression. He was a real deal traveling troubadour out there on that lost highway. Do yourself a favor and put on some Luke Bell tunes tonight in his memory. Rest In Peace, friend.”
Margo Price, a singer-songwriter, posted a video of Bell performing in 2015 on Twitter. She wrote, “Goddamn, rest [easy] to our dear friend, Luke Bell.”
