Urban plans world tour
Tuesday, January 16, 2007 – Plans are underway for Keith Urban's "Love, Pain & the whole crazy World Tour." Exact dates are being finalized, but the tour is set to kick-off with a short run of club shows in the United Kingdom and Germany this April.
Urban then will move to arenas in Australia in May, before hitting U.S. and Canadian arenas in June.
Further announcements are expected in the coming weeks.
Urban's latest album, "Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing," debuted on Nov. 7 and was the second consecutive number one album for Urban. The first single from Urban's fourth studio recording, "Once in a Lifetime," became the highest debuting single in the history of the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart. "Stupid Boy" is the follow-up single.
Urban, who is married to actress Nicole Kidman, was in rehabilitation until late December for apparent alcohol abuse. He previously was treated for cocaine abuse.
