Keith Urban checks himself into rehab, an apparent relapse from a past substance abuse addiction.
What is happening in country music? First Sara Evans' soap opera divorce is pasted on the tabloids and now this.
Country music superstar Keith Urban has cancelled his upcoming appearances - the reason is stated as illness, but it's a little more than that. The multi-platinum selling husband of Nicole Kidman has apparently had a relapse in his recovery from substance abuse and has voluntarily checked himself into a rehab center. The site of the center was not released.
This is the statement that appears on his web site at www.keithurban.com
"As you've likely discovered by now, last night I voluntarily admitted myself into a treatment center. I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me. I am so fortunate to have that support and the unwavering strength of my wife, family and friends. I feel calm and optimistic about the future and with finally coming to terms with the reality of my condition. I look forward to our next chapter together and am determined to give you all as much joy as you have given me.
God bless."
