Luke has been known to keep things lighthearted and fun while giving practical advice as a judge on American Idol’s latest season. But lately he’s been singing a different tune in the aftermath of Hurricane Michael.

In fact, on October 10, just one day after the storm’s wrath gained strength, the country music star tweeted, “Hey everyone. Pray for my people. So many dear people I know are being affected. My mother and so many friends live in Mexico beach. And now it’s bearing down on Albany and Leesburg.”
