Nicole Kidman’s Divorce Filing
Nicole Kidman, 58, filed for divorce from Urban on September 30, 2023. The couple had been married for 19 years. In her filing, she cited “marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences.” Urban and Kidman began dating in 2005 and tied the knot in Sydney in 2006. They share two teenage daughters.
Concert Cancellation Due to Laryngitis
Just a day before the Nashville show, Urban was forced to cancel a concert scheduled for October 16 at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. The cancellation was due to laryngitis, which had affected his singing abilities. Urban’s laryngologist recommended complete vocal rest to ensure a full recovery.
In a statement regarding the canceled concert, Urban expressed regret, stating, “Hey Greenville, I’m so SO sorry to have to cancel the show.” He acknowledged the logistical efforts fans undertake to attend his performances and conveyed his eagerness to return.
