Keith Urban has been forced to cancel his Thursday night show in Greenville, South Carolina, due to a health issue.
The 57-year-old singer, who split from his wife Nicole Kidman last month, was scheduled to perform at Bon Secours Wellness Arena as part of his 2025 High and Alive World Tour.
However, Urban was advised by his longtime laryngologist to cancel his performance “due to laryngitis which began earlier this week.”
“He has been placed on complete vocal rest and Dr. Garrett is optimistic that he will be back onstage for his Nashville show,” the official Facebook page for the venue revealed Wednesday in a Facebook post.
Urban issued his own statement about Thursday’s show being canceled, saying: “Hey Greenville, I’m so SO sorry to have to cancel the show…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!!!!!” he said.
Refunds for tickets purchased for Thursday night’s show through Ticketmaster will be issued automatically, the venue said. Those who bought tickets through a third-party reseller should contact their point of purchase for more information.
Urban is expected to continue his tour Friday in Nashville, Tennessee, taking the stage at Bridgestone Arena.
The Independent has contacted a representative for Urban for comment.
Urban’s High and Alive World Tour began in May and has included dates across the United States, Canada, and Australia. Following Friday’s Nashville show, Urban has just one remaining date scheduled in 2025 at Louisiana’s Boots on the Bayou country music festival.
As of now, Urban is scheduled for just a handful of U.S. and Europe concerts in 2026.
The concert cancellation comes amid the singer’s split from Kidman, who filed for divorce on September 30.
Only one day before that, The Independent confirmed that Kidman and Urban had separated after 19 years of marriage. Meanwhile, TMZ reported that they had been living separately “since the beginning of summer.”
The couple share two daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14.
The decision to separate was made by the “Break on Me” singer as Kidman takes care of their children and is “holding the family together through this difficult time,” a source told TMZ. They further claimed that Kidman did not want the initial separation and had been attempting to save the marriage.
“Keith has acquired his own residence in Nashville and has moved out of their family home,” the source said. The family’s main residence is also located in the Tennessee city.
Kidman and Urban were last photographed together in June while attending the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group D match between Los Angeles Football Club and Esperance de Tunis at Geodis Park in Nashville.
