Keith Urban Cancels Concert in South Carolina
Keith Urban has had to pull the plug on his concert scheduled for South Carolina as he recuperates from a mild illness.
The 57-year-old country musician was set to perform at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville on Thursday night, part of his “High and Alive” tour, but had to announce the cancellation at the last moment.
According to the venue’s website, Urban has been advised by his laryngologist, Dr. Gaelynn Garrett from the Vanderbilt Voice Center, to cancel the performance due to laryngitis that began earlier this week. He is fully resting his vocal cords, and Dr. Garrett is hopeful he will be back on stage for the show in Nashville soon.
The statement included a heartfelt apology from Urban to his fans regarding the unexpected cancellation.
Urban expressed, “Hey Greenville, I’m so sorry to have to cancel the show…I know all the arrangements it takes to go to a concert these days, and I’ve never taken any of it, or any of you, for granted. Looking forward to getting back there when I can!!!!!!”
This cancellation comes just weeks after it was reported that Urban and his estranged wife, Nicole Kidman, have filed for divorce after nearly two decades of marriage. The news broke on September 29, with Kidman filing the next day. In court documents, she cited “irreconcilable differences” and ongoing “marital difficulties” as the reasons, marking September 30 as the separation date.
A source close to the situation mentioned that, “She didn’t want this. She has been fighting to save her marriage.” In a recent interview with a magazine, Kidman reflected on her experiences, likening them to those she’s faced in the past.
She shared insights on handling challenges: “No matter how painful, how difficult, how devastating something is, it’s meaningful to know that there is a way to get through it.” She added that sometimes you have to feel the emotions deeply to actually process them.
Urban and Kidman first crossed paths at an event in Australia in 2005 and tied the knot in June 2006. They have two daughters, Sunday Rose (17) and Faith Margaret (14).
