Nearly eight years after his brother's death, country legend Eric Church admits he "didn't spend any time dealing with it."
"I played a show, after my brother died...We buried him, and I played a show four days later. Because I had a show, and I know he would want me to play the show," Church, 48, told Anderson Cooper on Friday, February 19.
"So I just kept playing, kept going. But I look back on it now, I'm not sure that was the right thing to do," he added.
Brandon Church died in June 2017 after suffering multiple seizures, TMZ reported at the time.
"When my brother died, I didn't comprehend that it's never going to be the same again. The family dynamic, when my brother died, I wasn't prepared for that part," Church told Cooper.
He went on to say that he still "feels his brother," particularly when it comes to his music. Church explained that in his song "Sinners Like Me," the line "So we sit on his headstone with a fifth of Jack D," which was originally written about his grandfather, now reminds him of his little brother.
One regret Church has is treating his brother with "tough love."
"My brother had troubles. A regret I have is when he was going through some of those troubles, I did a little bit of the, 'You're not doing the things you're supposed to be doing,'" he told Cooper. "It was a little bit of the tough love, big brother thing. I wish I had more grace and been more compassionate now."
