Just because Luke Bryan is one of country music’s hottest stars right now doesn’t mean that avoids his fair share of reality when it comes to life at home with two young sons. Earlier last month, Bryan was getting ready to be the man of the hour at his latest No. 1 party for his multi-week chart-topper ‘I Don’t Want This Night to End.’ But home life hit the singer first, inciting an unexpected visit to the ER for his four-year-old son, Bo.

“We’ve already been to Vanderbilt this morning,” Bryan told Taste of Country later that afternoon. “He had to get xrays. He fell in one of these treehouse things you take your kids to so they can play.”

The weird part? “His lip’s not busted, but his whole gum is like torn off,” explained the concerned father. “So we were up [this morning], running to Vanderbilt getting him xrayed. He is going to be fine. We found out he’ll need braces one day because his teeth will be coming in crooked like his mom and dad’s!”

Luckily Bryan had some family members who were in town for the No. 1 party, so they were on duty for babysitting his youngest son, Tate (20-months-old). “[Tate] was running around the house without a diaper when we left, and he pooped on the floor,” Bryan said with a smile and a shake of the head. “My nephews is in town, and he was the one who alerted us of the incident. His face after the incident … I guess that is the reaction you would get from a 12-year-old. It was pretty funny. So that’s pretty much been my whole day. Dad had to clean that up. Mama was getting ready to come to the No. 1 party!”

Guess life on the road isn’t all that bad after all, huh Luke?

It always seems like Luke Bryan is giving fans every ounce of energy he can muster during award show performances. With a high-octane version of his No. 1 song ‘I Don’t Want This Night to End’ at the 2012 ACM Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday night, he certainly didn’t let fans down.

Bryan was hopping up and down from the very first notes of the midtempo love song. He worked to coax a crowd full of his peers and industry insiders to sing along, even pointing the microphone towards them during the final verse. It worked to some extent, with the Band Perry looking especially eager to join in. The singer wore a white t-shirt and skinny jeans under his signature black baseball cap.

On Monday night Bryan will join Lionel Richie for the ‘Lionel Richie and Friends – In Concert’ taping at the MGM Grand Hotel, singing ‘Running With the Night.’ The show will be aired on CBS on April 13. Previously Bryan told Taste of Country how excited he was to be performing despite not having a nomination.

“We felt like we were super worthy of it,” he said. “We had one of the biggest songs and felt like that sound needed to be heard on the ACMs. We’re excited about the performance, and we are certainly very excited about being a part of the Lionel show.”
