The show must go on for Keith Urban.
During the “Blue Ain’t Your Color” singer’s first concert since news broke of his split from wife Nicole Kidman, Urban displayed a family photo of Kidman and their daughters onscreen. The photo appeared during a slideshow as Urban performed his song, “Heart Like a Hometown,” which has been an ongoing part of his High and Alive world tour.
According to PEOPLE, Urban spoke into the microphone to share a story about how his parents allowed him to drop out of school to pursue music full-time, before he launched into the song.

Representatives for Urban did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly’s request for comment on whether he will continue to use a photo of Kidman in his concerts amid their ongoing divorce.
Thursday night’s Hershey, Pa., concert at Giant Center marked Urban’s first show since news broke of his split from Kidman. He played with his band, including Natalie Stovall, who returned to the stage with him.
Stovall’s recent absence from the band onstage sparked new speculation over Urban’s relationship with fill-in utility player Maggie Baugh, who played with the tour in Chicago. Urban ad-libbed that he’d “be your guitar player” to Baugh during their performance of “The Fighter,” off Urban’s album Ripcord, which was inspired by Urban and Kidman’s romance.
Baugh did not play in Thursday’s concert, and has not addressed any rumors over her relationship with Urban.
Oscar-winning actress Kidman filed for divorce from Urban in Nashville court on Tuesday, according to online case records reviewed by EW. The news came a day after the couple’s separation was confirmed by PEOPLE. A source told the outlet that Kidman “didn’t want this,” adding that the Moulin Rouge star “has been fighting to save the marriage.”
Kidman, 58, and Urban, 57, married in June 2006, after meeting the year prior. They share two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14. Kidman was previously married to her Days of Thunder costar Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001.

Kidman celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary on June 25 with an Instagram post showing the actress resting her head on her husband’s shoulders in a dressing room. “Happy Anniversary Baby,” she captioned the post.
In July, Urban abruptly disconnected from a radio interview in Australia after being asked a question about Kidman’s love scenes with Zac Efron in her film A Family Affair. A representative for the singer declined to comment on the matter when contacted by EW at the time, though an unnamed source told PEOPLE that Urban “did not hang up, period,” and noted that “he doesn’t host his Zoom interviews. This is a complete nothingburger.”
Urban’s High and Alive tour continues with scheduled dates this month, as well as stops in the Bahamas and the U.K. in March 2026.
