“But I tell you what, every time I leave his presence, I’m like typing in my phone, ‘Keith Urban said this…’ He’s full of wisdom and has had such a long incredible career.
“It’s clearly because of his talent and also because of who he is. He’s just a good dude and he loves country music, his fans.
“He gives it 190 per cent, he never half-arses anything, and that’s what I love about him.
“He’s going to continue sharing his gift until he can’t share it no more.”
