Country music sensation Keith Urban has voluntarily checked himself into
rehab, according to media reports.
The singer, who is married to Oscar winner Nicole Kidman, was admitted
Thursday night into an undisclosed treatment center for alcohol abuse.
The New Zealander-Australian country music star battled an addiction to
cocaine in the late '90s, but cleaned up before releasing his self-titled
American debut in 2000.
Urban released a statement to Premiere Radio Networks saying, "I deeply
regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me.
"One can never let one's guard down on recovery and I'm afraid that I have.
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."
His concert Friday night at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville,
Connecticu t was canceled due to "illness," and
all of his immediate appearances have been postponed.
There is no word yet on if Keith Urban will be keeping his commitment to
perform at the 40th Annual CMA Awards on Nov. 6.
