I saw him in an interview and he seems like a nice guy.

I wish him the best in his recovery.

Darn, I was hoping it was for hair abuse.
He always looks like a mess.

The pressures of Show Business and having a very high pofile marriage perhaps?

...We all know how cruel the MSM can be, even to some of their own.

Never heard any of his tunes, but gotta hope he can kick his addictions. I'd quit my vices if Ms. Kidman asked me to! :)

Keith Urban 
Tonight I Wanna Cry 

Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away

[Chorus:]
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry...
(etc.)

Besh wishes to Keith.

I really don't know much about the guy's music, other than that hit "You'll Think of Me."

I did a NAPSTER search of his music just now, and he does have a song titled "God's Been Good To Me" and another one about grace.

Anyway, I wish him the best. Too bad some Freepers here just want to joke about the guy's hair.

I don't understand why checking into rehab isn't confidential?

After he realized that he married Nicole Kidman, he went on a bender...

It does make you wonder. Especially after she spent 10 years married to Tom Crazy.

I'm not a huge country fan, but Urban's one I really like. He's really a rock guitarist. I bought Mrs. Choose Ye the live DVD of Keith Urban, and it is a fantastic concert.

He had a cocaine addiction in the past and wrote about how he licked it. I hope he'll be able to do the same with booze.

I love his music too.Hope he beats this addiction.
My mom said someone with his money should
be able to afford some shampoo.

Wish someone would start a Sarah Evans thread.

Well, of course, he is,(a rock guitarist) and that's the point. He isn't country, and that's why he's popular, but I digress...

I don't really mean to celebrate anyone's pain, but....the current suits in Nashville have done everything they can to separate themselves from country music, while pretending to be part of it. They have gone to great lengths to tell writers not to write stories, serious lyrics, you know, those songs about drinking and divorce and who knows what else - just to write those positive, upbeat, nothing, empty songs for a new generation of young people who supposedly haven't (and won't) experience those things. GUESS WHAT!!!! Human nature is what it is, and it's really funny to see the ones who pretend they're above what they perceive country to be, to fall into the very same trap.

LOL. Well I hear this a lot. I think he looks fine. I used to date guys that looked like that when I was in high school, so it doesn't bother me. His hair. His business. And contrary to what a lot of people say, Keith is always "clean".

Probably because the media would have been all over it when he wasn't around to promote the album that's about to come out. Not to mention the upcoming awards show he won't be attending. It's being made public on his terms.
