Country superstar Keith Urban has released a statement announcing that he voluntarily admitted himself to a rehabilitation center last night (Thursday, October 19), with his actresss wife Nicole Kidman accompanying him.
"I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me," Urban's statement reads. "One can never let one's guard down on recovery and I'm afraid that I have. With the strength and unwavering support I am blessed to have from my wife, family, and friends, I am determined and resolved to a positive outcome."
The press release did not make it clear what type of addiction Urban is seeking treatment to overcome. However, it did say that as a result of his treatment, all promotional appearance and tour dates surrounding the release of his new album, Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy Thing, will be postponed.
I'm so sad to hear this =( But it's good that he's being open about it and saying what's been happening. It takes a lot to be able to admit to something like that. But he'll pull through it since he's going in strong and has love and support from so many people.
Sorry I'm starting to babble. Thank you for sharing it with me!
I always feel that it's no one's business and that celebs shouldn't feel obligated to make it other people's business.
However, I guess it comes with the territory.
It's a shame it has to happen to such a good person. I mean if it was some hollywood sleaze so be it, they had it coming. But Keith is such a talent. He actually has a talent for one and he isn't a hobo.
It's like Robin Williams also entered rehab and it's just sad that so many talented people fall into those things.
