00:00Luke Bryan reveals sister's true cause of death after years of rumors.

00:04It was tragic beyond words.

00:07Luke Bryan is finally setting the record straight about the tragic 2007 death of his sister,

00:13Kelly, after years of speculation that his family had kept details hidden.

00:18I've never really explained what happened to my sister,

00:21Bryan revealed on a Tuesday, October 28th episode of CNN's All There Is with Anderson Cooper.

00:27There's some misinformation out there.

00:29People think we've tried to cover it up.

00:32The country star, 49, revealed Kelly died at the age of 39 from sudden death syndrome,

00:39a rare condition that strikes without warning.

00:42There is a very, very small percentage of people that die for no reason in the world, he said.

00:48And it's called sudden death syndrome.

00:50And that's essentially what they described my sister's death as.

00:54She was in her home doing her laundry, he continued.

00:57It was like, you know, somebody just turned the switch off on her, and it was just tragic beyond words.

01:04In the days that followed her untimely death, Bryan remembered the agonizing uncertainty that followed.

01:10We wanted to know what had happened.

01:12Could there be a family history?

01:13The American Idol judge later adopted Kelly's three children, Jordan, 29, Chris, 26, and Tilden, 23,

01:30after her husband, Ben Cheshire, died of a heart attack in 2014.

01:36Bryan and his wife, Carolyn, are already a dad to sons Thomas, 17, and Tatum, 15.

01:42Still, despite the love they've welcomed into their hearts,

01:45they could never fill the void left behind from Kelly's death.

01:48She really was everything in our lives, he added.
