Mar 24, 2020 by apost team

As a large part of the world is overtaken by protective measures put in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19, events have been cancelled and people the world over are self-isolating, with celebrities being no exception. Country music singer Keith Urban gave fans a moment to rejoice among the chaos, as he performed a concert at home and live-streamed it for the world to enjoy. What's better, his wife Nicole Kidman sang along and danced beside him.

Backed by musician Jeff Linsenmaier and his wife Nicole, the 30-minute event was live-streamed on Urban's Instagram, using the app's IGTV feature. Urban explains in the video that he decided to perform the impromptu concert as he was scheduled to perform that night, with the show cancelled due to the ongoing crisis. He said "I was supposed to play tonight and I just thought it would be nice to play anyway, even though we can't be in front of all of you guys tonight. I just wanted to play some songs and bring a little bit of entertainment into your screens."

He then kicks into rock star mode and delivers a relaxed yet energetic concert that feels both intimate and shared with many people all over the world. At the end of the concert, while loudly playing his guitar, he begins to thank everybody who made it possible –– including Andy behind the camera, Jeff on backing support, his wife Nicole, and all the people at home enjoying the livestream.

Nicole's accompanying performance greatly added to the atmosphere. She looked gorgeous, wearing a long-sleeve black shirt with a graphic print on the front, dark jeans, and fur-lined black boots, while her trademark blond curls were tied up in a messy bun. During the performance Nicole either stayed out of frame, or was front and center singing and dancing, and occasionally adjusted Keith's stools during a quiet number.

The musician is set to have a big year ahead, with the release of his forthcoming album, which is expected to cross genres a bit. Last month he released the single "God Whispered Your Name", a song from the upcoming album.

Keith Urban was also meant to host and perform at the 55th ACM Awards next month on April 5, however the awards ceremony has been postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

Accompanying his post, the musician wrote #InstaBand below the video. He makes a joke in the video that his backing musician, Jeff, is the so-called InstaBand. As Coronavirus continues to keep both regular people and celebrities at home, Instagram concerts seem to be becoming a regular thing. Both John Legend and Coldplay's Chris Martin have recently streamed home concerts as well.

What's positive about the situation is that music and a sense of community can help us all in these hard times, so if artists like Urban are happy to indulge the public with such acts, then it'll be better for all of us. In times like this it's nice to know that our favorite musicians and celebrities still want to share joy with the world, making each day much easier to get through.

What did you think of Nicole's support during Keith's concert? And do you think more musicians should host concerts from home during these tough times? Let us know in the comments and be sure to pass this entertaining video on to your family and friends.
