Keith Urban is hitting pause on the music while he recovers.
The country superstar had to cancel the Oct. 16 Greenville, S.C., stop on his High and Alive tour after a mild illness.
“Keith Urban has been advised by his longtime laryngologist Dr. Gaelyn Garrett, from the Vanderbilt Voice Center, to cancel his performance in Greenville, SC tonight at Bon Secours Wellness Arena due to laryngitis which began earlier this week,” the statement on the Bon Secours Wellness Arena website read Oct. 16. “He has been placed on complete vocal rest.”
As for taking the stage for his upcoming show in Nashville, Oct. 17, the statement added, “Dr. Garrett is optimistic that he will be back onstage for his Nashville show.”
For his part, Keith expressed his regrets for missing the concert.
“Hey Greenville, I’m so SO sorry to have to cancel the show,” the “Let it Roll” singer said in a statement on the site. “I know all the logistics it takes to get to a concert these days and I’ve never taken any of that, or any of YOU for granted. I’m looking forward to getting back there when we can!!!!!"
Keith has been on the road as part of his High and Alive tour since May, with his most recent string of concerts coming amid his divorce from Nicole Kidman. The former American Idol judge—who shares Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14, with Nicole—has kept the music going—despite the end of their 19-year marriage.
Indeed, just days before the pair’s breakup was confirmed on Sept. 29, Keith made a notable change to the lyrics of “The Fighter.”
While the original lyrics go, "When they're tryna get to you, baby I'll be the fighter," Keith changed them while playing alongside his touring guitarist Maggie Baugh, singing, per a video shared to her Instagram Sept. 27, "When they're tryna get to you, Maggie, I'll be your guitar player.”
Almost a week later, Keith was photographed arriving in Hershey, Penn., ahead of his Oct. 2 concert without his wedding ring on.
For her part, Nicole has kept busy in style and briefly spoke about the new chapter in her life as she celebrated being able to handle all the challenges she’s been through thus far.
“There’s something to knowing that no matter how painful, or how difficult, or how devastating something is,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in an interview published Oct. 9. “There is a way through.”
