Country music star Keith Urban is to undergo surgery to remove a growth found on his vocal chords.
The singer, who is married to Nicole Kidman, has been forced to postpone a string of live dates and will be required to be on "complete vocal rest" as part of the recovery.
The 44-year-old is thought to be honouring all commitments that only require him to sing one song ahead of the procedure at the end of the month.
A statement on his official website reads: "The surgery, an out-patient procedure, while minor, will require complete voice rest followed by an undetermined period of recuperation that will require the postponement of the 'All For The Hall' benefit concert.
"Although Urban has had to substantially scale back his appearances requiring multiple songs, he will be honoring his pre-existing one-song performance commitments leading up to his procedure at the end of this month. All other appearances will be rescheduled in the new year."
Get well soon, Keith!
