The Australian version of The Voice has just announced that there will be some high-dollar talent sitting at the judge's table this season. Keith Urban's people have confirmed he's signed up for the season.
Keith Urban is about to go on “complete vocal lockdown” for three weeks after he has throat surgery, so he took two minutes to issue a video message, thanking fans their support, love, cards, messages and gift baskets. Urban is about to have a polyp surgically removed and is expected to make a full recovery.
The lyrics to the new Keith Urban single ‘You Gonna Fly’ were penned by hot country duo the LoCash Cowboys — Preston Brust and Chris Lucas — along with fellow singer-songwriter Jaren Johnston of southern rock band American Bang. When the uplifting tune landed in the hands of Urban, the three writers were thrilled at the opportunity to have a song recorded by the singing superstar.
Aside from a few one song performances, Keith Urban has cleared his calendar for the remainder of 2011. He says he’ll be undergoing surgery to remove a polyp that formed during his most recent tour with Jake Owen.
I'd like to think that Nashvile and The Country Music Association would have gotten around to honoring Glen Campbell eventually. Here is an iconic performer who was a stalwart of the country music industry for decades in the 70's, 80's and 90's. The sad news that Campbell is heading into the long twilight of Alzheimers just added to the urgency.
After Blake Shelton performed his theatrical opening version of ‘Footloose’ and the Band Perry claimed the first award of the night with their single ‘If I Die Young,’ Keith Urban brought Bridgestone Arena to its feet with ‘You Gonna Fly.’
Today’s country music wouldn’t be what it is without the iconic stars that led the way, like Glen Campbell, who changed the face of the industry with a string of Top 10 hits in the 1960s and ’70s. Realizing his greatness, Vince Gill, Keith Urban and Brad Paisley took the stage at the 2011 CMA Awards to honor the legend, who announced in June that he’s been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
Nashville’s hottest country stars will head south seeking warmer climate this winter. Lady Antebellum, Alan Jackson, Keith Urban and more are lined up to play the 2012 San Antonio Rodeo, which kicks off on Feb. 9 down in the Lone Star State.
Keith Urban has just announced that he will undergo throat surgery at the end of the month. The outpatient procedure is to remove a polyp on his vocal chords.
When Glen Campbell announced the onset of Alzheimer's, many people were forced to face the unfortunate truth that soon, country music was going to lose not only a very fine entertainer, but a real asset to the field.
Keith Urban went all out while visiting ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ to promote his new men’s fragrance and treat fans to a performance of his latest single. During a tongue-in-cheek “commercial” with the talk show host, the singer gave her the shirt off his back — literally.
