Early life

Combs, the sole child of Rhonda and Chester Combs, was born in Charlotte, North Carolina. When he was eight years old, the family relocated to Asheville, North Carolina. Combs participated in numerous school productions as a child, took singing classes, and joined his church choir, which once gave a performance at Carnegie Hall.

Prior to getting stage experience in the same pub, Combs worked as a bouncer while attending Appalachian State University. He performed his first country music concert at Boone’s Parthenon Cafe. He quit school after five years and with 21 hours remaining to get his degree in order to pursue a career in country music. Later, he relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a musical career.

Luke Combs ‘Struggles’ with Weight Loss:

Combs, 33, said that his weight has always “bugged” him and that he “definitely struggles” with it. He continued, “Especially when you’re younger, you’re like, man, I just got like a horrible genetic dice roll on this thing,” adding that genetics are only partially to blame for his health.

It’s not that I don’t overindulge; I do overindulge. Because it is in many ways [my fault], I’m not trying to claim that it’s not, he said. Combs, who welcomed his first kid with his wife Nicole Hocking on Father’s Day, said that he would “really love” to lose weight but admitted that it is difficult for him to do it even if he is aware of what must be done.

“I know what to do and how to do it, and I hate to keep going back to golf, but when I go play golf I can hit a good golf shot, I’ve done it a bunch of times, but I can’t do it consistently, and my relationship with food has been the same thing,” he added. “I know what to do, how to do it, why to do it, and when to do it.” The native of North Carolina claimed that the fact that individuals need food to survive is what distinguishes food addiction from drug addiction.

If you were addicted to cocaine and you stopped using it, the only drug you would need to survive would be food. I don’t need to smoke to stay alive. But I need food to stay alive, he added, adding, “You would literally die without food so that’s what makes it such a difficult thing.”
