Luke Bryan - Kill The Lights (Lyric) Kevin Winter, Getty Images
Luke Bryan knows what its like to deal with heartache and what its like to have every detail of your life scrutinized. The Kick the Dust Up singer says that his wishes for his famous friends Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, who announced their divorce in late July, are simple.
A divorce out of the public eye is a tremendous thing to have to deal with, so when theyre in the public eye, you just hope theyre doing good and you hope theyre happy at the end of the day, Bryan tellsEntertainment Tonight.
The country star adds that he and Shelton, who have hosted the ACM Awards together since 2013, have talked a little bit. Back in 2010, Bryan and Lambert toured together, on Lamberts Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars Tour.
At the end of the day, I want people happy, Bryan tells Extra. In my life, Ive dealt witha lot of permanent loss, where you know you cant get people back, and I just always pray certainly in Blake and Mirandas case that theyll be happy, ya know, however, whatever shakes out, and anybody goingthrough that.
Bryans sister Kelly unexpectedlypassed awayin 2007; her husband, Bryans brother-in-law,died unexpectedly in late 2014. Bryan also lost his brother, Chris, in a car accident in 1996.
I mean, life is precious and short, Bryan continues, and you need tofind that happy place and get there.
Bryan released his new album,Kill the Lights, on Aug. 7. It is available through iTunes, Amazon and Target.

Dave Aude ft. Olivia Newton-John and Chloe Lattanzi "You Have To Believe" (Teaser)
When she was younger Chloe Lattanzi would happily stand by her mum, Olivia Newton-John, on the red carpet to pose for photos and now aged 29, not much has changed except for the fact shes totally unrecognisable!
You may remember her as the Grease stars gorgeous braces-wearing daughter, but these days she is engaged to be married and looks very, very different.
She debuted blonde locks on the red carpet as well as a cropped sequined top displaying her ample bust and flat stomach.
In 2013 she was treated for alcohol and cocaine addiction, Chloe told Woman"s Day at the time: "I was using most days and nights. And not only was I doing coke, I was drinking vodka heavily also. I had to combine the two," however nowadays the aspiring singer seems much happier and healthier.
Last year she told her instagram followers, "For anyone out there struggling with addiction. I feel you. Keep your sobriety. You never regret not drinking"

Shawn Mendes is helping to spread messages of both positivity and hope in an effort to help people. On Instagram, the singer posted a message to his followers with his observations over thee course of the past year, according to The Huffington Post. In the message he talks about bringing back the Notes From Shawn campaign and how he has seen both his friends and fans dealing with depression. His goal is to help combat the issues in any way he possibly can. Also in the post, the singer says that sometimes all it takes to make a difference is to leave a positive note for someone in order to change their entire day.
The purpose of these little notes is to boost confidence in others and help to reduce instances of self-harm. Mendes campaign is running on the DoSomething.org website and uses #NotesFromShawn to help spread the word. On the DoSomething.org site, the problem, the solution and also what one gets are all explained. This campaign was apparently inspired by his songs Stitches and Life of the Party. This is the second year that Mendes has returned to the mission of spreading love and hope. A major component of the Notes From Shawn campaign is to help combat low self-esteem issues which help contribute to rampant self-harm.
On the site, the solution to the problem is to spread positive messages to decrease negative thoughts. People who sign up to help apparently get an exclusive selfie from Mendes himself. Plus, when an individual does sign up, they will get ideas on how they can help others raise their self-esteem, while also learning how to be a part of the singers mission.
A relaunch of the Notes From Shawn campaign occurred on Aug. 4, 2015. Since then, there have been more than 26,000 people who have signed up in order to participate. Fans of the singer, known as the Mendes Army, wasted no time in joining forces and sharing the notes they created, while also spreading the word about the campaign itself.
On Twitter, the #NotesFromShawn message can be found attached to pictures showcasing fans posting their notes, or pictures of the notes themselves. Some people are using sticky notes and others just small pieces of paper to spread cheer. Based on the Tweets with pictures, people are putting pictures on doors, on street signs and anywhere else they might make an impact. No matter where the notes are going, it seems that Mendes campaign of positivity is in full swing.

MARVIN HAGLER ON FLOYD MAYWEATHER CALLING HIMSELF TBE: "THAT"S A BIG STATEMENT...TOO EARLY TO TELL" Floyd Mayweather vs. Andre Berto kicks off this weeks podcast. We talk about Floyd Mayweathers thought process in picking Berto as an opponent, and what to expect from the fight.
After a short hiatus, Diego and Iare back to discuss the big Mayweather-Berto announcement. Wealso recap Danny Garcia-Paulie Malignaggi, Daniel Jacobs-Sergio Mora and the debut of Premier Boxing Champions on Bounce TV.
More from The Living Daylights
Other topics include the light heavyweight fiasco involving Sergey Kovalev, Artur Beterbiev and Adonis Stevenson, the thrilling news that Gennady Golovkin and David Lemieux will unify middleweight titles and, finally, Carl Frochs hall of fame candidacy in light of his recent retirement.
Heres a more detailed breakdown of this weeks episode:
The official announcement that Floyd Mayweather Jr. will fight Andre Berto on September 12 despite being the worst kept secret in boxing is bitterly disappointing. We remind listeners that none of this is Andre Bertos fault; that said, with opponents like Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter and Amir Khan eager and willing to step up and fight, you have to question Floyd Mayweathers logic and delusional belief that hes The Best Ever (news flash: he isnt).
We recap the PBCs second ESPN card and speculate about whats next for Danny Garcia. Was he impressive in defeating Paulie Malignaggi? Or could Garcia have shown more? Regardless, Garcia is well-positioned in a loaded welterweight division. As for Danny Jacobs-Sergio Mora, we lament the early end to this thrilling mini-war. It was too small a sample size to properly assess Jacobs, and concerns still linger about his chin. Where do you rate him at middleweight?
With Al Haymon blocking the proposed Sergey Kovalev-Artur Beterbiev fight, we consider who the Krusher could fight next. Adonis Stevenson also announced his next fight, a pathetic matchup against Tommy Karpency. We wade through the compelling, confusing and frustrating light heavyweight landscape.Fansided Daily

Gennady Golovkin-David Lemieux is happening! That pretty much speaks for itself
Lastly, Carl Froch retired. We debate Frochs hall of fame worthiness and recall the high points of his illustrious career. Do you think Froch belongs in the hall of fame?

It"s called kill the lights just like his album and if you want to kill the lights and fill your room with the aroma of Luke, it"s easier than catching yourself a little catfish dinner. Now, Luke -- supposed to smell like chocolate but I feel like it smells like breakfast. A little chocolate in there. Did you have any say in picking out that scent? Yeah, when you said catfish, a catfish scented candle would not do well. That wouldn"t have gone over well. Have nailah bourbon. There is that bourbon -- Vanilla and bourbon. That is.

Luke"s been taking Twitter requests as part of a promotion with target and writing songs all about his fans coming up with impromptu diddies about everything from unicorns to birthdays and even a song motivating one little girl to clean her room. George, that could come in handy. One you say might be your next hit about a girl who does not like emojis. What girl doesn"t hike emojis. It was about -- well, my fans on Twitter, they give me a lot of grief because I never -- I"ve never used an emoji so it was actually a fan was wanting me to have a little fun with my lack of using an emoji and so I wrote a song called "I hate emojis." I really don"t hate emojis. You don"t hate anything, Luke. Your songs coming up, thanks, Luke. Thanks, guys. Emily: Good morning.
