Keith Urban was not in a fighting mood during his first performance since news of his split from Nicole Kidman broke.
The country singer, 57, notably left a love song inspired by his estranged wife off his setlist when he performed on Thursday, October 2, at Giant Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
Urban removed “The Fighter,” a collaboration with Carrie Underwood, from his concert, which Us Weekly attended, after word got out earlier this week that he and Kidman, 58, had called it quits.
Released in 2016, the song contains the lyrics, “What if I fall? / I won’t let you fall / What if I cry? / I’ll never make you cry / And if I get scared? / I’ll hold you tighter / When they’re tryna get to you, baby, I’ll be the fighter.”

In a March 2017 interview with The Boot, Urban shared how the song was inspired by his romance with the Oscar winner.
“It was just a very quick, quick song to write, because I literally thought about Nic and I and our relationship in the beginning, and some of the things we had said all went into that song,” he recalled.
Urban is currently performing on his High and Alive World Tour, on which he previously performed “The Fighter.” The singer changed the lyrics to the song at a recent show to give a shout-out to his guitarist, Maggie Baugh.
Instead of the lyric, “When they’re tryna get to you, baby, I’ll be the fighter,” Urban sang, “When they’re tryna get to you, Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player,” per footage shared on social media.

Baugh, 25, was not onstage with Urban on Thursday night.
Us confirmed on Monday, September 29, that the longtime couple had separated after 19 years of marriage. Kidman filed for divorce one day later, citing irreconcilable differences, and listed their date of separation as the same day she filed.
The Babygirl actress requested she is named the “primary residential parent” of her and Urban’s two children, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14. (Kidman also shares daughter Bella, 32, and son Connor, 30, with ex-husband Tom Cruise.)

Kidman also submitted a marital dissolution agreement signed by both her and Urban. The agreement included a parenting plan, a child support plan and a “parenting seminar order.”
Per the parenting plan, the couple’s minor children will spend 306 days of the year with their mother and 59 days with their father, including every other weekend. The former couple also agreed to make all major decisions regarding Sunday and Faith together. The plan noted, however, that “in the unlikely event that the parties do not agree on a major decision for either minor child, [Kidman] shall have final decision-making authority.”
