Luke Combs just recently wrapped his touring for 2021 and is home spending some time with his wife, and family until his European tour kicks off in March 2022, followed by his soldout stadium tour.

Luke recalled one Christmas as a teenager, getting his own TV complete with cable TV and perfect for playing video games. He told us about getting the technology at 13, "Me and my buddies would go down there and they hooked it up to cable so me and my buddies could watch TV down there and play N64 and do all that stuff."

He added, "I appreciated the sentiment of my parents giving me my own space and stuff like that was a really awesome thing. And, I think eventually the TV ended up in my bedroom so… couple years that lasted and then I wanted to have it in the bedroom."

Since Luke's huge success, he has taken care of both his parents and neither of them has to work anymore.
