The country music star also shared why he doesn't talk much about his sobriety and its relation to the views of his fans.
Keith Urban's career was flourishing, but his personal life was"on fire, completely the wrong way" before Nicole Kidman stepped in just months after their 2006 wedding.
"It's not an uncommon story,” he said. “You know, the career's on fire and the personal life is also on fire, completely in the wrong way. That was the case for me. I was a real binge drinker." Urban checked into the Betty Ford Clinic after Kidman's intervention and has now been sober for 15 years as his career has only grown bigger, with 24 No. 1 country hits on his resume. He"I caused the implosion of my fresh marriage," he said."It survived, but it’s a miracle it did. I was spiritually awoken with her. I use the expression ‘I was born into her,’ and that’s how I feel. And for the first time in my life, I could shake off the shackles of addiction.
