Keith Urban made his first public post-rehab appearance on Saturday, telling fans he’s feeling just fine.

During a backstage interview before his segment on the popular German TV show Wetten, dass..? (Wanna bet?), Urban, 39, was asked how he was doing and told that many of his fans had been worried about him.

“I’m very good, I’m feeling much better,” he said. “And thank you to everybody out there – I got a lot of support from everybody in the last three months, lots of e-mails and cards and letters. It meant a lot to me, so danke schön.”

(Urban will also be speaking to fans in a video message on his Web site on Monday at 11:00 a.m. EST.)

He told the interviewer that the song he would later perform on the show, “Once in a Lifetime,” from his new album Love, Pain & the whole crazy thing, was based on his relationship with wife Nicole Kidman.

“A song like ‘Once in a Lifetime’ is inspired by my marriage – it’s a good, life-changing happening in my life,” he said. “I think when you find your once-in-a-lifetime love, that’s what everybody’s looking for.”

After performing ‘Once in a Lifetime’ with his band, Urban chatted with host Thomas Gottschalk, who said, “Tell Nicole all about the show, tell her how good it was, and that she can come here. You could even bring her next time.”

Urban said he would be back in the country soon anyway: “We’re coming to Germany to tour in April.”
