Country music has lost a young voice.

CJ Beach, the 22-year-old frontman of CJ & The Deadmen, known for blending country with Southern rock, died after a single-car crash on a notorious curve of a Florida road. The crash happened just hours after he performed.

Beach was building a following with a sound rooted in the South, and fans had expected big things.

Spotlight's prayers are with his family, his bandmates and everyone who loved his music. Please, if you are driving late after a long night, take it slow.
