Kellie Picklers husband celebrated career milestone before

A day before his death, the songwriter commemorated the success of Lee Brice’s fifth album, “Hey World,” in which he produced and played guitar.

Kellie Pickler’s late husband, Kyle Jacobs, took to Instagram this week to commemorate the success of country music star Lee Brice’s fifth album, “Hey World,” which he produced.

“Platinum?! SWEEEET!!! An amazing crew of incredibly talented peeps put this one together,” the songwriter captioned the post on Thursday, one day before he died by apparent suicide.

“Deeply honored to be a creative part of it…Thank you Jesus!!!” he added, before tagging people who aided the success of the song.

Metropolitan Nashville Police spokesperson Don Aaron then confirmed to The Post Friday that Jacobs was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot at the home he shared with Pickler. He was 49.

After the “American Idol” alum and an assistant searched her home, they realized that the door upstairs was locked, according to police.
