There were rumors earlier this year that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were done after nearly twenty years together. But fans were still shocked when it was confirmed in September that the former couple had been separated since the summer. Now, the singer’s close friends are worried that he’s ‘fragile’ amid the divorce and collapsing on stage.
Nicole Kidman Files For Divorce Amid Cheating Allegations
Keith Urban has been on tour with his new band since May. At a show in September, the singer changed the lyrics to the song he wrote for his wife, Nicole Kidman. In the new lyric change, he paid tribute to one of his guitarists, Maggie Baugh. The clip took on new meaning after the actress filed for divorce days later after nineteen years of marriage.
The reason behind the shocking divorce wasn’t made public, but many fans believe cheating played a role. Others blame Nicole Kidman embracing her sensual side in several roles in recent years. Whatever the reason, Keith Urban’s friends are reportedly concerned about him.
Fans Worry Keith Urban Is ‘Fragile’ Amid Divorce

Years after leaving American Idol, the singer is back on a reality TV competition with Blake Shelton. The two look for the next American cowboy on the CBS reality competition The Road. But Keith Urban’s friends worry that he’s too “fragile” amid the divorce.
“Keith is running on empty. He’s acting like a lost soul, and there’s a lot of concern that he’s in emotional free fall without Nicole by his side,” a source close to the singer said.
Keith Urban sparked more concern when he collapsed on stage.

Keith Urban’s High and Alive tour wrapped up in October with a final show at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. He had an interaction with a fan that left him collapsed on stage.
A fan at the concert asked the singer to help her announce her pregnancy. But when she told him her name, Keith Urban playfully collapsed on the stage in shock. The fan shared a name with the singer’s estranged wife, Nicole.
While the dramatic reaction was in good fun, a source close to the singer believes it had a deeper meaning.
“This was obviously Keith’s way of making light about his current situation. But the painful and undeniable truth is that he’s extremely fragile, and a lot of folks are worried about him,” the insider spilled.
Several fans have spoken out with fears that Keith Urban could relapse without Nicole Kidman there to support him. “I have a feeling he not only cheated but relapsed,” one fan wrote on social media.
Another added, “Something is definitely going on with him. First he scrapped a full album, then fired his band and now the divorce.”
