Keith Urban Gets Star on Music City Walk of Fame

Keith Urban received his star on the Music City Walk of Fame (presented by founding sponsor Gibson Guitar) in a public ceremony in Nashville on Sunday, May 15. According to Newschannel5.com, Urban was presented with his star by country singer Ronnie Milsap and then kissed both his star and his wife, actress Nicole Kidman.

“Good Lord, it’s quite surreal after all these years,” Urban said. “So it will be 20 years next year since I moved here, and I’ve had the absolute lowest lows of my life and the complete highest of highest of highs, all have happened in Nashville.”

Country music legend Bill Anderson, who has been writing and performing for 50 years, also received a star. “Whispering” Bill said: “I am thrilled to be a part of it after all these years, the one thing is that about the music business is that it is constantly changing so to say that you know where it’s going to go, nobody knows that. The public will tell us where they want to go and we will follow.”
