Urban to Have Surgery

Country Countdown USA

Keith Urban will have surgery after the CMA Awards this year.  The statement from Urban's publicist said the procedure was minor but that it would require complete voice rest.

Urban is one of the nominees for Entertainer of the Year at Wednesday night's awards show.  He had planned to sing multiple songs during the performance.  News of the impending surgery has caused those plans to be changed.

One of the cancellations is the All for the Hall benefit concert at the Country Music Hall of Fame.  The event had been set for January 18.  No new time has been set pending Urban's recovery.
