Keith Urban opens up over sudden death of Nicole’s dad

Keith Urban has broken his silence over the sudden death of Nicole Kidman’s father Dr Antony Kidman.

The country music star, who immediately cancelled a planned charity concert to be by his wife’s side, spoke out on facebook.

“I’m so very sorry that I cannot perform this weekend. We are in a deep state of grief at the passing of Nic’s Father and are heading to Australia to be with family,” the 46-year-old wrote.

“We want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for their love, prayers and support through this devastating loss.”

Upon hearing the tragic news, Keith immediately flew by private jet to the couple’s home in Nashville.

Nicole’s father, a well-respected Sydney psychologist and Director of the Health Psychology Unit at Sydney’s Royal North Shore Hospital, died suddenly in Singapore while visiting his daughter Antonia.
