Keith Urban has called off his Thursday concert in Greenville, South Carolina, after being placed on complete vocal rest owing to laryngitis. This cancellation comes amid ongoing public attention on the Nicole Kidman divorce update, as the country music star and Kidman recently separated after nearly two decades of marriage.
The planned show was part of Urban’s 2025 High and Alive World Tour, which had scheduled a performance at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena on Thursday night. The announcement of the cancellation was confirmed by the venue earlier in the week after Urban received his diagnosis.
Medical Advice Behind the Show Postponement
The Bon Secours Wellness Arena explained that Keith Urban, aged 57, had been guided by his longtime laryngologist, Dr. Gaelyn Garrett from the Vanderbilt Voice Center, to cancel the Greenville performance due to his vocal condition.

Kidman filed for divorce late last month, officially ending their 19-year marriage, and cited irreconcilable differences. The couple reportedly separated in June and share two daughters. A source told PEOPLE that the separation “really hasn’t been a secret,” explaining that they
“have been living separately for a while now,”
and people close to Urban
“felt like the split was kind of inevitable.”
Implications of Concert Cancellation Amid Personal Turmoil
Keith Urban’s vocal health issues and concert postponement reflect the physical demands of his ongoing tour amid significant personal challenges. Fans anticipate his quick recovery as well as the resumption of performances starting in Nashville. Meanwhile, the Nicole Kidman divorce update continues to shape public perception of the couple’s evolving lives as they navigate the end of a long marriage.
