He said, \u201cWhere do we start? It\u2019s a calling, and you\u2019re going to do it or you\u2019re not going to make it.\u201d (via The Daily Mail<\/a>)<\/p>\n Urban added that touring often takes a significant emotional toll. Even on days when he was unwell and missing his loved ones, he still pushed himself to perform another show. He explained, \u201cWhen you wake up on a tour bus at 3:30 in the morning and you\u2019re sick as a dog, you\u2019re in the middle of nowhere and you\u2019ve got to play your fifth show later that night, and you haven\u2019t slept, and you miss your friends, and you\u2019re missing your family, and you\u2019re completely lonely and miserable and sick \u2014 and you say to yourself, \u2018Why am I doing this?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Despite those challenges, Urban said that his sense of purpose kept him going. He noted, \u201cThe only answer can be: Because this is what I\u2019m born to do.\u201d The Road follows 12 aspiring artists competing for the chance to open for Urban on his tour, while also offering a behind-the-scenes look at the industry.<\/p>\n Urban\u2019s remarks about his touring struggles come shortly after confirmation that his 19-year marriage to Kidman had come to an end. The actress filed for divorce in Nashville on September 30.<\/p>\n The post Keith Urban Spoke About \u2018Lonely & Miserable Life\u2019 Before Nicole Kidman Split<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Keith Urban recently reflected on the emotional challenges of touring.
