While in London on Saturday (Oct. 12) to promote his just announced European tour, Keith Urban left his appearance on Strictly Come Dancing and made his way to the Eventim Apollo where he took the stage to play “Mustang Sally” with Hootie and the Blowfish.

But the night wasn’t over because Urban then jumped on the underground for the 40 minute Tube ride to The O2, where he took to the stage to perform two songs with Brad Paisley. Whew!
Chris Country got the inside track
with Keith Urban (Chris Country Breakfast at 7:40am!) What’s all this about Keith
riding the underground to get from performing with Hootie over to Brad:
The Michael Ball Show
Keith was a
late surprise guest on BBC Radio 2’s The Michael Ball Show on
Sunday (Oct 13)
He spoke about moving to
Nashville in the 90s, balancing family life, songwriting, his album GRAFFITI U,
the enjoyment of country music in the UK, growing up and he played a solo
acoustic of "Blue Ain't Your Color" live in the studio.
Keith Urban had the Strictly Ballroom on its feet, and we're Never Coming Down! #Strictly
Strictly
Come Dancing
Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman presented the results show (first broadcast Sunday Oct 13), with Keith Urban and a jaw-dropping group routine from the Strictly professionals Kevin Clifton (Strictly Champion and 5x finalist) & Katya Jones (World, British Latin champion; Strictly Come Dancing 2017 WINNER)
Setting
up the performance Claudia said
“It is now time for some music, performing his WORLDWIDE HIT ‘Never Comin Down’ * it’s Keith Urban!”
* To date Keith has charted one single on the UK Charts in 2006 You'll Think Of Me (CAPITOL) which peaked for 1 peak at #88.
In
America Never Comin Down peaked at #18 on the Billboard Country Airplay
Chart (chart dated 2.9.2019) and #30 on Hot Country Songs.
His
performance drew a standing ovation from both the audience and judges Craig
Revel Horwood, Bruno Tonioli, Motsi Mabuse and Shirley
Ballas (turning up the heat once more for the head judge who described actor
Kelvin Fletcher as "a very masculine man, with scintillating and sensual
hip action, with a beautiful leg action and sensitivity of touch. "You just sent my
temperature through the roof! I've never seen a man rumba like that," she
gushed).
It was selling 65% of the No1 song on UK Country iTunes (Dan + Shay & Justin Bieber)
It also sparked interest in
his albums with GRAFFITI U lifting to No.1, GREATEST HITS
landing at No.2, DAYS TO BY blowing in at No.6 and RIPCORD
arriving at No.19 on UK Country iTunes Album Chart (#32, #37, #315, #613
respectively on UK iTunes all-genres).

- Now, something is very different to bringing to the Strictly goes Country music!! 😍
- Keith tried so hard that after the show he was very tired. Fifty on the nape of the neck. KU still pretends to be a young man.
- The dancers were great. Keith Urban just went out of his way just to do well.
- It worked out very well, but I don't like you anyway.
- This song is very danceable.
- That was live singing and playing you heard there from Keith and the band!
- Keith Urban was amazing! Best guest so far this series!
- Keith Urban fantastic, shame the dancers have to come on when the guest singers are on. So distracting & audience clapping & whooping. For a few minutes why does it have to be about them!!!!
- 👎 Nice miming there Keith.
- Why would he travel half way around the world to mime ffs?

- Omg he's just so awesome!! Just as good as C2C, my favourite song too!!
- Took the crowd a while to get on their feet and clap, I would have been on the dance floor lol
- He was a busy man last night. Three gigs xxx
- He was amazing 🤠🤠🤠🤠😍😍
- First
time for me to watch Strictly 😂 #UrbanArmy 🤟🏻
- I thought the mixing of the sound for the show was awful.
- Well I got to say I’m a true Keith Urban fan. I have just been defending him on the Strictly Facebook closed group. I’m also strictly fan but,,,,, NO ones going be running down our man x
- He was great. Loved him at C2C.

Keith Urban had the Strictly Ballroom on its
feet, and we're Never Coming Down!
- 👍 Bloody loved Keith Urban....talented amazing musician and writes all his own stuff. Booked tickets to see him next May in Birmingham - cannot wait! I've waited so long to see him in the UK. Bring it on and well done Keith xx
- Yaaaaaay!
Even my Dad is a fan at 77 after watching him on Strictly! I think all his UK
dates will be sold out after his Strictly debut. I'm surprised how many people
have never heard of him on here! I'm so jealous of Nicole Kidman lol 😂 x
- So sick of the dancers taking centre stage , yes I know it’s a dancing show but their guests are there to show case their music , glad also that the audience kept a bit quiet too
- Absolutely amazing love Kevin. Never heard of Keith urban but most say he was very good
- He's bloody gorgeous.
- That was superb. Keith Urban and Kevin and Katya were outstanding
- Keith
Urban is fantastic, I'm a huge fan of his! So great for the UK to showcase a
tiny snippet of current country music 👌 Nice one Strictly!! 🤠🤠🤠
- It's not necessary to have dancing when someone is performing, it's very rude when the dancers are applauded and someone is trying to sing.
- I've never heard of him, but he was better than Harry Connick Jnr last week who I had heard of, so fair play to him.
- Never
took much notice of Keith urbane b4 but sure will now 🤩
- Thank you BBC for having Keith on the show... he may not be a household name in the UK but he is a superstar in the country world and country rocks 😍🤠😍
- 👎
- Never heard that song before in my life, would have thought they could have hired someone more memorable.
- Never heard of Keith Urban , couldn't understand a lot of his lyrics ,but it wasn't because of the raucous audience for a change ,thank you for toning down the screaming from the said audience .
- Who? Never heard of him and he was rubbish. Needs a good haircut! Bring back Buble.
Instagram
john_chubbs World wide hit!!!!!!i
must have nodded off when it was a hit here🤔
julesuk555 Most country music
isn’t a hit in uk but it will be everywhere else in world. But it did make me
laugh as I thought what you said.
