    KEITH Urban’s critically acclaimed fourth studio album, Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing, has debuted at #1 on Billboard’s American Country Album chart and #3 on the mainstream album chart.
    In Australia, the album debuted at #1 on the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Country Chart and at #5 on the mainstream albums chart.
    Capitol Records Nashville’s Bill Kennedy said the fan support for Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing has been tremendous, as first week sales figures reflected.
    “This, along with Keith's third consecutive (Country Music Association, America) Male Vocalist of the Year Award and the #1 position for the most downloaded album at iTunes, underscores Keith's very solid place in the country music world.”
    Co-produced by Keith with Dann Huff, the new album has received wide critical praise.
    “So far, Keith Urban shows no signs of running out of exhilarating ways to declare life is grand, or finding dizzyingly uplifting guitar riffs that echo that sentiment,” an AAP reviewer said of the disc.
    Billboard said: “Few artists have the vision to see that country music isn't simply defined by fiddles and steel guitar (although this album has both), and even fewer have the talent to fulfill that vision. Urban does.”
    The first single from Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy Thing, Once In A Lifetime, made chart history by debuting at #17 on the Billboard Hot Country Song Chart. It marked the highest debuting single in the 62-year history of that chart. The album's second single, Stupid Boy, was released to radio this week.
    Following Keith’s voluntary admission to the Betty Ford Clinic, a Tamworth fan emailed Keith’s website with a message of support and encouragement. She was delighted to receive a reply within 24 hours.
    If anyone would like to do the same, you can visit his website, www.keithurban.net  and follow the prompts.

    Urban renewal: Keith checks into rehab, nixes Mohegan Sun gig
    Saturday, October 21, 2006
    Country star Keith Urban checked out of his sold-out show at the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut last night - and checked into rehab with his wife Nicole Kidman at his side. “I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me,” Urban said in a statement issued by his rep.
    Urban, who turns 39 on Thursday, has acknowledged a past addiction to cocaine, but his publicist said the Australian country star was currently being treated for alcohol abuse.
    “One can never let one’s guard down on recovery, and I’m afraid that I have,” Urban’s statement said. “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 multiplatinum star was supposed to kick off festivities this evening at Mohegan Sun’s 10th anniversary celebration. Organizers of the star-studded shindig, which will feature performances by Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin Costner, the Barenaked Ladies and Lily Tomlin, were alerted last night that Urban would not be able to perform.
    “Our thoughts are with Keith and his family, and we look forward to his return to Mohegan Sun,” said Mitchell Etess, CEO of the Uncasville casino.
    Urban, who has performed twice before at the casino, was slated to be inducted into the Mohegan Walk of Fame. The singer’s band was unaware of the rehab stint when members arrived at the casino today in preparation for tonight’s show.
    Urban also will likely cancel a scheduled appearance at the Country Music Association awards next month, his publicist said. Urban’s new CD, “Love, Pain, & the whole crazy thing,” will be released Nov. 7 as scheduled, but he will postpone all upcoming promotional appearances.
     
    Urban enters rehab, cancels CMA and album appearances
    By PETER COOPER
    Staff Writer
    Weeks before the release of an album that could cement his place as an international superstar, Keith Urban checked himself into a rehabilitation center Thursday night, with his wife of four months, Nicole Kidman, by his side.

    "I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me," Urban said in a statement released by a representative. "One can never let one's guard down on recovery, and I'm afraid that I have."

    Urban has been upfront about past struggles with drugs and alcohol, including a 1998 stay at Nashville-area treatment center Cumberland Heights. The Country Music Association's reigning entertainer and male vocalist of the year, Urban is nominated for four trophies at this year's Nov. 6 CMA Awards. He was originally scheduled to appear during the show but has cancelled that and all appearances related to the release of his new album.

    Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing is due in stores Nov. 7, and a representative confirmed Friday that the release date will not be postponed. Urban's single "Once In A Lifetime" is in the Top 10 of Billboard's Hot Country singles chart.

    "All of us who are close to Keith totally respect his decision and support him 100 percent," said Dann Huff, Urban's producer and friend. "Without going into detail, he has been very forthright with all of his close friends."

    This year, Urban won a Grammy Award for best country male vocal performance, won his second straight top male vocalist prize from the Academy of Country Music, recorded an album and married movie star Kidman. He didn't play many tour dates in the U.S., but industry experts, including Ray Waddell of Billboard magazine predicted that his 2007 tour earnings would probably mark him as one of the nation's top concert draws.

    Raised in Australia, Urban is among country music's best-known international ambassadors. His rise has not come without stumbles, and last year Urban talked to The Tennessean about his past struggles with cocaine. He described a time in the late 1990s when he crawled around the floor of a Nashville drug house, looking for traces of the substance.

    "I think anybody that gets into using drugs and stuff thinks they can handle it," he said then. "Obviously, you have some sense that you're in control."

    Urban's representative said that some shows will be cancelled during Urban's recovery and that there is no specific time line for getting back on the road. "However long it takes is what it will take," the representative said. "Everybody around him is showing him love and support."
