Keith Urban, More Country Stars Take Over Vegas
Keith Urban was a recording artist long before his 2001 breakthrough. Originally from New Zealand, he grew up in Australia and moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1992. He spent the next few years paying his dues, writing songs, and playing guitar for other artists.
He released his self-titled debut album in 1999, and the rest is history.
Keith Urban has released 11 albums and had 18 No. 1 singles in his long career. In addition to music, he was a judge on American Idol from seasons 12 to 16.
When he’s not making music, he spends time with his equally famous wife, actress Nicole Kidman. The couple have been married for almost 20 years and share two children together, Sunday Rose, 14, and Faith Margaret, 12.
However, Keith Urban does spend a lot of time on tour. He is among other country acts, including Carrie Underwood (at Resorts World Theatre) and Garth Brooks (at Ceasars Palace,) to headline a Las Vegas residency.
