Make Page Six a Preferred Source Singer CJ Beach tragically died Saturday in a car accident in Florida.
The rising country music star from Tallahassee died after his car ran off a road at 1:15 a.m. and struck several trees, the Florida Highway Patrol told the Tallahassee Democrat.
Beach was not wearing a seatbelt at the time and was pronounced dead at the scene, the outlet reported.
Beach had performed at The Salty Donkey in Panacea, Florida, on Friday — a restaurant and tiki bar — just hours before his car accident.
His father, Charlie, confirmed his death in an emotional Facebook post Sunday.
“I appreciate all of the outpouring feelings and thoughts about my son CJ,” he wrote. “Seeing all the post with pictures and videos kills me, but I know he was loved by many and will be missed.”
Charlie then advocated for fans to urge county commissioners to install warning lights and signs where his son’s fatal car accident occurred.
“That is what I ask for in memory of my son CJ,” he concluded. “Please help me out.”
Beach’s last Instagram post was on Nov. 3, when he shared video of himself playing his song “Cigarettes” on guitar and singing.
The comment section is now flooded with condolences from fans.
Radio station X101.5 Tallahassee paid tribute to Beach on Facebook, sharing video of him performing at the Deadmen Walking Festival in Crawfordville, Florida, in April.
Beach founded the annual event in Wakulla County, Florida, in 2022, which supports independent and local artists across Wakulla County and Tallahassee.
The festival features a mix of rock, country, and new-age music.
“We are shocked and saddened to learn of the tragic passing of one of the most talented young musicians from our area in a long time. RIP Cj Beach 💔,” the post reads.
“Sending our condolences to everyone in the local music community, CJ’s friends and family, and anyone who was ever lucky enough to hear him play live,” the post continued.
“Here is a short clip from this past April’s Deadmen Walking festival in Crawfordville, which CJ organized and brought the community and several musicians together for an amazing night of live music.
