Country Star Keith Urban Checks Into Rehab

Keith Urban, great career… beautiful wife… an alcoholic. This just goes to show you, it can happen to ANYBODY! Kudo’s to Keith for having the courage to step forward and admit to his problem. He’s taken the first and biggest step… it gets easier from here.

Keith Urban has checked himself into a rehabilitation treatment center for alcohol abuse, less than four months after the Grammy-winning country singer’s marriage to actress Nicole Kidman.

Urban released a statement Friday that said he entered rehab Thursday night with his wife by his side. His publicist would not give the location of the rehab center.

“I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me,” Urban said in the statement.

Urban, who turns 39 on Oct. 26, has publicly acknowledged a former addiction to cocaine, but his publicist said Urban was currently being treated for alcohol abuse.

“One can never let one’s guard down on recovery, and I’m afraid that I have,” the statement reads. “With the strength and unwavering support I am blessed to have from my wife, family and friends, I am determined and resolved to a positive outcome.” source
