Justin Townes Earle — singer, songwriter, and son of acclaimed musician Steve Earle — died at 38 years old. At first, Earle’s cause of death was undisclosed, but now police have revealed the singer died of a “probable drug overdose.” According to Nashville’s WKRN, police responded to a wellness check Sunday at the singer’s Tennessee apartment. Police spokesperson Don Aaron said a friend had made the initial call because no one had heard from the singer since Tuesday.
