Keith Urban is not letting a canceled show — or his ongoing divorce from Nicole Kidman— impact his career. Far from it, in fact, as the country star has already had a busy weekend … and one more huge project ahead of him.
First up, despite canceling his Thursday, October 16, concert in Greenville, South Carolina — the 57-year-old Grammy winner was struck with laryngitis — he managed to perform at his final High and Alive World Tour stop in Nashville on Friday.
That same day, Urban also dropped the deluxe edition of his latest album, High, which adds on six live versions of several of the High tracks he performed while on tour.
As if that wasn’t enough for fans of the country superstar, Parade got an exclusive sneak peek at Urban and Blake Shelton‘s new reality series, The Road, which premieres this Sunday, October 19, on CBS.
Per a press release, the show “follows 12 musicians performing at concert venues across the country as Urban’s opening act, competing for a grand prize that includes a performance slot at a record deal, $250,000 and a performance slot at the Stagecoach Music Festival.”
While Urban and Shelton are both producers on the series, they are far from the only country greats involved in the reality show, the press release states. “Gretchen Wilson acts as the series ‘tour manager,'” while Urban and Shelton join forces “throughout the season,” as do “country music stars Jordan Davis, Karen Fairchild, Dustin Lynch and Brothers Osborne, who guide these seasoned musicians, and along with a live venue audience, determine who advances to the next city.”
What’s Going on With Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s Divorce?
Urban and Kidman were married for almost 20 years when news of their separation broke on September 29. Just one day later, the Oscar winner, 59, filed for divorce — citing “irreconcilable differences,” per TMZ. Their teen daughters will also stay with their mother the majority of the year.
The outlet also claimed that Urban had “moved out of their family home” and has acquired his own residence in Nashville.”
According to People, it was Urban who wanted the split.
“[Nicole] didn’t want this,” an insider told the outlet. “She has been fighting to save the marriage.”
While there has been speculation of a romance between the “Blue Ain’t Your Color” rocker and his 25-year-old backing guitarist Maggie Baugh, there is no evidence to back up those rumors.
His emotions have been present onstage, however, with Urban changing the lyrics to his song “You’ll Think of Me” to add in a NSFW line.
While the Grammy winner sings on the track: “Take your memories, I don’t need ’em / Take your space and take your reasons,” at his October 4 show in Virginia, he couldn’t help but add in a curse word.
“Take your memories, I don’t need ’em / Take your space and all your stupid bulls**t reasons,” he sang, adding: “You shouldn’t have treated me this way.”
