Keith Urban Performs First Show Since Nicole Kidman’s Divorce Filing, Drops Wedding Ring and ‘The Fighter’

The appearance followed Kidman’s Nashville petition with a signed dissolution agreement that seeks to name her the primary residential parent.

Overview

  • Urban arrived in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on Oct. 2 for his High and Alive Tour and was photographed without a wedding band before the concert.
  • He left “The Fighter” off the set list and tweaked a lyric in “You’ll Think of Me” to say “Your bulls— reasons,” according to concert coverage.
  • A slideshow during “Heart Like a Hometown” still included a family photo of Kidman and their two daughters.
  • Guitarist Maggie Baugh did not perform after viral clips of Urban inserting her name into “The Fighter” fueled speculation; her father described their relationship as professional and no romance has been confirmed.
  • Court filings on Sept. 30 cite irreconcilable differences and include a dissolution agreement signed by both parties that outlines custody with Kidman as primary residential parent, as multiple outlets also report the pair had lived apart since early summer.
