Keith Urban is a cross-genre megastar, but he’s as humble as they come. Even as a big star, he doesn’t need much backstage to please him.
Keith Urban’s Tour Rider Revealed
During a recent chat with Taste of Country Nights‘ Evan Paul, Urban was happy to dish on his tour needs. Spoiler alert: It’s not much.
“My band,” Urban jokes when asked what he needs backstage at every show. “It’s good if they’re there, so I can walk out and play with some music.”
“I don’t have any of that, like, you know what I mean?” he adds, remaining modest. “The rider and the whole thing. I’m pretty low-key, I don’t need much.”
Okay, maybe there is one thing:
“If I can get water in a glass — like glass bottle instead of plastic — it just tastes better and probably a bit healthier, that’s about it,” he finally decides.
Here you have guy with more than 20 No. 1 songs to his credit, multiple ACM and CMA awards and who has sold millions of records, and all he wants is water and his bandmates.
If that ain’t country simple, what is?
