Keith Urban abruptly ends interview after risqué Nicole Kidman question

Keith Urban’s radio interview promoting his upcoming High and Alive World Tour ended abruptly when a personal question about his wife, Nicole Kidman, took things off-track.

The 57-year-old singer called in to Mix 102.3’s Hayley & Max in the Morning on July 1 to talk about his tour and share memories of Adelaide. But the chat took a sharp turn when hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford introduced their 'Wall of Truth' segment - a game involving awkward, personal questions.

“We often get put into this situation,” Hayley said, “but I get really uncomfortable asking something a guest might not want to answer.”

Then Max dove into the real question: “What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron having love scenes on TV?” referring to Kidman’s 2024 Netflix film A Family Affair.

Seconds later, their Zoom connection dropped. “He’s just disconnected,” someone behind the scenes confirmed. Hayley reacted in disbelief: “That’s 100 percent what just happened. We've upset him! He’s gone.”

The co-hosts were left scrambling, unsure whether Urban had ended the call himself or if his team had stepped in. “He doesn’t like talking about his wife,” Hayley said. Max, still surprised, added, “I thought we were vibing!”

Before things went sideways, Urban had shared excitement about returning to the stage and admitted he still gets nervous before shows, likening the feeling to 'a racehorse kicking the stalls.'

Urban’s High and Alive World Tour is set to hit Australia starting mid-August.
