Keith Urban To Have Throat Surgery

Keith Urban is scheduled to have throat surgery later this month!
The country singer has had to postpone his All For The Hall Benefit concert for the Country Music Hall of Fame in January as he’ll still be recuperating by then.
A rep for Keith reveals:

“Keith Urban is set to undergo throat surgery later this month, to remove a polyp which has developed on his vocal chords. 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.”

But he won’t be completely out of the spotlight. Urban will still make some appearances before his surgery. His rep added:

“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.”

Here’s to a safe surgery and speedy recovery!
