Granger Smith is shedding light on his decision to step away from his longtime career four years after the death of his 4-year-old son, River.
In June 2019, he and wife Amber Bartlett shared the devastating news of their then-youngest son's death from drowning in their home pool. Smith turned to various items to cope with the tragic loss, including alcohol and weed.
The singer's grief came to a nearly fatal end one night on his tour bus when he was drunk with a gun in his hand. Described the singer,"There was one night in Boise, Idaho, where I just wanted to end it all, when the weed wasn’t working anymore and the alcohol couldn’t numb it and self-help certainly couldn’t help anymore cause it takes a level of strength to self-help. And when you don’t have any strength, what do you do? Maybe the only answer is to end it all because maybe that’s where the peace is. Maybe that’s when you can finally rest in that.
