Keith Urban Breaks Down in Tears During First Nashville Show Since Divorce — And What Happened Next Stunned Everyone

Keith Urban wrapped his High and Alive Tour with a concert in Nashville on Friday night (Oct. 17), where he was brought to his knees and paused his show during a powerful rendition of “Somebody Like You.”

This was Urban’s first show back in Nashville after his divorce from Nicole Kidman on Sept. 29.

What Happened at Keith Urban’s Nashville Concert?

Urban electrified the crowd the entire night with both his up-tempo and slower ballads — but when it came time for him to play his love song “Somebody Like You,” he seemed to need a minute and the crowd’s support to get through it.

While Urban is known to sometimes take a breather during this song, this time seemed different, given the current circumstances.

Fans in the comment section of the fan-shot video above are showing tons of support for the singer.

One writes, “Awee we got your back Keith! You are truly a sweetheart and deserve the universe. Keep doing what you’re doing.”

Another that was actually in the crowd last night writes, “It was during this song that everyone was holding up the hearts for him!”

 

According to the Tennessean newspaper, the fans in Nashville had planned a special surprise for Urban in advance, cutting out hundreds of red hearts from construction paper and holding them up during the song, which caused his emotional reaction.

Unless Urban is a seasoned actor, there is no way that he could have made up the scene on stage during this moment. It was raw. It was real.

Before he started back into the song, he wiped his brow, almost signifying he needed to hear the fans’ support in that moment.

Urban then started singing once again, still on his knees, not standing back up as he got into the song’s next verse.

He sang the next lyrics acapella and raw, packed full of emotion:

“Sometimes it’s hard for me to understand / But you’re teachin’ me to be a better man / 
I don’t want to take this life for granted like I used to / I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you.”

Why Did Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman Split?

The official divorce documents cite irreconcilable differences.
