The adored Australian musician Keith Urban has won over admirers all around the world. But what really enthralled us all was his enchanted romance with actress Nicole Kidman. These two lovebirds met in a story out of a fairytale, despite all the odds.
It all started in 2005 when they met at a star-studded celebration of Australian accomplishments called “G-Day LA.” Many people were unaware at the time that Kidman was secretly engaged to someone else. But destiny had other ideas for her. After that accidental encounter, Kidman and Urban became engaged in three months.
Kidman reflected on their brief romance, saying, “There was a great attraction at first, and after three months, we got engaged, and then we got married really quickly.” However, we weren’t actually acquainted. They were able to fully explore the depths of their connection through marriage.
Kidman continued, “I think that meeting at a certain age makes a difference.” “And I believe in my instincts. I had the impression that I had found my home the moment I laid eyes on him. And he experienced the same emotion.
Raising two beautiful girls, they have created a beautiful life together. However, there have been difficulties along the way. Robert, Keith Urban’s father, had a big influence on the guy he turned out to be. Sadly, Robert’s fight against prostate cancer was lost.
In 2018, Keith Urban went to the Toowoomba It’s A Bloke Thing luncheon to commemorate his father’s memory and to spread awareness about prostate cancer. He made it apparent that his devotion to this cause was steadfast, even in the face of worries from his admirers regarding his wellbeing.
Keith Urban was personally impacted by prostate cancer, as his uncles and other family members were also impacted by the illness. It is simply amazing how committed he is to raising awareness and helping people who are affected.
Urban graciously consented to perform for free during the benefit, which helped raise an unprecedented $2,024,000. This deed of kindness demonstrates his genuine nature as a talented musician, a kind partner, a committed parent, and a person with a golden heart.
Keith Urban is a very blessed person who uses his position for good in the world. Let’s spread the news about his amazing effort by forwarding this article to our family and friends on Facebook.
Dolly Parton sings The Beatles’ song “Let It Be” with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr — listen to it here!
After over 50 years in music, Dolly Parton is now a real rock star. The cherished country legend is finally putting out her long-awaited rock album called “Rockstar,” and she’s teaming up with some of the biggest names in music history to do it.
Dolly just released the latest single from her album, a cover of The Beatles’ timeless song “Let it Be.” Many have covered this beloved tune before, but this one is extra special because it features both living Beatles, Sirs Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr!
Few artists can bring together arguably the greatest band ever, but Dolly did it. Although Paul and Ringo have worked together occasionally, having them both on board is still a major achievement.

And if having two Beatles wasn’t enough, the song also includes Peter Frampton on guitar and Mick Fleetwood on drums, making it a truly star-studded recording.
The spiritual, gospel-inspired song is a great match for the 77-year-old country icon, and Dolly gives it her all in her performance — have a listen:
The song has received praise from both critics and fans of Dolly Parton and The Beatles.
One YouTube comment reads, “I got goosebumps from the first few words… by halfway through I was in tears! Thank you, Dolly, Paul, Ringo, and everyone involved in this incredible recording!”
Another comment says, “Great version of an iconic song by the legends themselves! A lively and powerful rendition. Thanks to all!!”
And another emotional comment reads, “No words… just tears… amazing… so much gratitude to these incredible legends for bringing this inspiring piece to a new generation. ‘Let it Be’ is exactly what this world needs right now.”

“Let it Be,” first released in 1970, remains one of the Beatles’ most cherished and inspiring songs. Although credited to Lennon-McCartney, Paul McCartney wrote it after dreaming about his mother, Mary Patricia McCartney, who passed away when he was 14.
Recorded during the band’s famous yet turbulent “Get Back” sessions, it served as the Beatles’ final single before their breakup in 1970. The song also lent its name to their last album, adding a bittersweet connection to the band’s farewell.
Dolly Parton’s album, Rockstar, is set to be released on November 17. She first hinted at making a rock album last year when she turned down her nomination to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Dolly said she hadn’t “earned the right” to be inducted because she hadn’t made a rock & roll album yet.
“I hope the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and consider me again if I ever deserve it,” she wrote. “This has inspired me to finally make a rock ‘n’ roll album, which I’ve always wanted to do!” She also mentioned that her husband is a “total rock ‘n’ roll fan.”
Rockstar will have some new songs written by Dolly, but mostly it features covers of classic rock songs, often with the original artists joining in.
The track list includes:
- “Every Breath You Take” featuring Sting
- “Baby, I Love Your Way” with Peter Frampton
- “Heart of Glass” with Debbie Harry
- “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” with Elton John
- “Free Bird” with Lynyrd Skynyrd
Besides “Let It Be,” Dolly has released two other singles from the album: an original song called “World on Fire” and a cover of Queen’s “We Are the Champions”/“We Will Rock You,” which also promotes the 2024 Paris Olympics.
