Keith Urban Cancels South Carolina Concert Due to Laryngitis

Country music star Keith Urban was forced to cancel his performance at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina, today after being diagnosed with laryngitis.

The 57-year-old singer, scheduled to perform as part of his High and Alive tour, was advised by Dr. Gaelyn Garrett of the Vanderbilt Voice Center to cancel the show and rest his voice. “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,” Urban said in a statement released by the venue. “I’m looking forward to getting back there when we can!!!!!”

The cancellation follows recent news of Urban’s divorce from actress Nicole Kidman, filed after nearly 20 years of marriage. The couple, who share two daughters, cited “irreconcilable differences” in court documents. Kidman has reportedly been supported by her family during this difficult time, and recently spoke to Harper’s Bazaar about navigating hardship. This cancellation adds another layer to a challenging period for the artist.

Dr. Garrett expressed optimism that Urban will recover in time for his upcoming show in Nashville. Fans who purchased tickets for the Greenville concert are encouraged to visit the Bon Secours Wellness Arena website for information regarding refunds or rescheduling; more information on Keith Urban’s tour dates can be found on his official website.

Urban is expected to remain on complete vocal rest as he recovers, with updates on his condition to be provided as they become available.
