A few weeks before Keith Urban<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s split<\/a> from Nicole Kidman<\/a> made headline news, the country star covered Loverboy\u2019s 1981 hit \u201cTurn Me Loose\u201d<\/a> in his show on Sept. 12 at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and fans are wondering if he was telegraphing his pending divorce.<\/p>\n It\u2019s the only time that Urban has performed the song live and although the song\u2019s title could suggest Urban\u2019s current state of mind, there\u2019s likely another reason he performed the song. Calgary, Alberta is the hometown of the 1980s hitmakers Loverboy, who had a big hit with the song in 1981, when it reached No. 6 on Billboard\u2019s Top Rock Tracks chart.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfac <\/strong>SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox<\/strong><\/a> \ud83c\udfac<\/strong><\/p>\n The song contains the lyrics:<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I was here to please \/ I’m even on knees \/ Makin’ love to whoever I please \/ I gotta do it my way \/ Or no way at all \/ And then you came around \/ Tried to tie me down \/ I was such a clown \/ You had to have it your way \/ Or no way at all \/ Well I’ve had all I can take \/ I can’t take it no more \/ I’m gonna pack my bags and fly, baby \/ Or no way at all\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the connection to Loverboy\u2019s hometown, some fans seemed convinced that Urban was sending a message by adding the song to his set<\/a> in his encore, prior to the set-closing cover of the New Radicals\u2019 \u201cYou Get What You Give.\u201d Unlike “Turn Me Loose,” which Urban has only played once on this tour, he’s been performing the New Radicals’ song regularly in his live set<\/a>.<\/p>\n Loverboy shared fan-shot video of Urban performing on their official Facebook<\/a> account and fans in the comments shared their thoughts.<\/p>\n \u201cOh he sure turned Nicole loose,\u201d wrote one.<\/p>\n \u201cA foretelling of the pending divorce,\u201d added another.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was sending Nicole a message, looks like she got it loud and clear. #turnmeloose<\/a>,\u201d added another.<\/p>\n On Sept. 30, just a day after news broke of the couple\u2019s separation<\/a>, Kidman filed for divorce, despite sources insisting she had been fighting to save their marriage.<\/p>\n The news was confirmed by People<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kidman, 58, and Urban, 57, married in 2006 a year after they met in Los Angeles.
