Keith Urban is a megastar in every genre, but he’s as humble as can be. Even as a huge star, he doesn’t need much backstage presence to please.
Keith Urban’s Tour rider announced
During a recent chat with Taste of Country Nights’ Evan Paul, Urban, is happy to chat about his touring needs. Spoiler alert: It’s not much.
“My band,” Urban jokes when asked what he needs backstage at every show. “It’s good when they’re there, then I can go out and play with some music.”
“I don’t have any of that, you know what I mean?” he adds, remaining modest. “The driver and all that stuff. I’m pretty low-key, I don’t need much.”
Okay, maybe there is one thing:
“If I can get water in a glass – that is, in a glass bottle instead of a plastic bottle – it just tastes better and is probably a bit healthier too, that’s all,” he finally decides.
Here you have a guy with more than 20 No. 1 songs to his credit, multiple ACM and CMA awards, and millions of records sold, and all he wants is water and his bandmates.
If that isn’t just country, what is Is?
