Keith Urban Will Undergo Throat Surgery

Keith Urban is the latest singer to be hit by an epidemic that's affecting people's throats around the globe. According to Access Hollywood, the country star was forced to postpone his “All For The Hall” Benefit concert for the Country Music Hall of Fame, after discovering he needs throat surgery. Keith's rep made a statement about his client's condition, stating, “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." The rep additionally stated the singer can still perform single song gigs leading up to the surgery, but will reschedule all other performances requiring multiple songs to help ensure his condition doesn't worsen.

First John Mayer needed surgery on his vocal chords, then Adele announced her upcoming plans for throat surgery, and now poor Keith is having throat troubles as well. Our favorite Hollywood singers sure seem to be having a hard time doing their job. It better not be contagious or I'm going to have to seriously consider reducing the amount of singing I do in the shower every morning. Hopefully the CDC will get a handle on on the situation soon, so I can sing in peace. Here's to speedy recoveries to all involved!
