Country music star Keith Urban has checked into rehab after relapsing into his addictions. Urban is married to actress Nicole Kidman.
Country singer Keith Urban checked into a rehab center Thursday night with wife Nicole Kidman by his side, according to a statement from his rep.
“I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me,” Urban says in the statement. “One can never let one’s guard down on recovery and I’m afraid that I have.
“With the strength and unwavering support I am blessed to have from my wife, family and friends, I am determined and resolved to a positive outcome.”
The statement adds that all of Urban’s immediate appearances promoting his forthcoming CD will be postponed.
Urban and Kidman are both 39. They wed June 28th of this year in Sydney, Australia.
Keith has been in rehab before and the song ‘You’re Not My God’ from the 2002 album Golden Road is about his prior addiction to drugs and alcohol.
I am hoping Keith can finally conquer this and be back on the road soon. Keith is a very nice, sincere man and I consider him a friend. He has always been very kind to me no matter where we have been. He even took the time to call from his limo after his CMA Awards win two years ago.
Hopefully this won’t have a negative impact on Keith and Nicole’s marriage. There was a clause in their prenup regarding Keith and his prior drug and alcohol problems.
Here is what Page Six reported earlier this year:
Page Six reports Nicole Kidman had Keith Urban sign a prenup earlier this month to make sure her $150 million is safe in case things go sour after their wedding tomorrow. The papers give Keith just over $600,000 a year for every year they’re together and there’s an additional clause that allows her to leave the marriage without giving anything to Keith - an ex-cocaine addict - if he uses illegal narcotics or drinks excessively.
