Probably Keith Urban needs an intensify prayers from fans as his father is now in ‘danger zone’.

The New Zealand-born Australian country music singer, songwriter and guitarist told The Tennessean that his father, Robert Urban was laid in hospice care.

“He’s probably only got a few weeks, if that,” Urban said. “I’ve just been dealing with that the last couple of days. This has all come at a very strange time where it’s typical of a career that has extreme highs and extreme lows all often at the exact same time. So [the exhibit] is bittersweet a little bit because [my dad] is the catalyst for all of this. My dad is the catalyst for me living in America.”

The 48-year-old said he owes his dad a ‘big thanks’ for inspiring him. He revealed that Mr. Robert Urban used to design his stage getups in the early part of his career.

“My dad particularly always thought it was important that I dressed like a performer,” he explained. “A lot of these country music talent quests I did in Australia, they often had categories for best dressed male or best dressed female and I often won. Sometimes it was the only thing I won.”

“I said, ‘How do you know it’s going to be good?'” Urban recalled. “He said, ‘It’s Don Williams.’ It hit me in such a way that I thought, ‘I want to make those kinds of records, that people know are going to be solid and they go out and get it.’ I want to thank Dad for starting me on this journey.”

Keith Urban is known for his roles as a coach on the Australian version of the singing competition The Voice, and as a judge on American Idol.

Since 2006, he has been married to actress Nicole Kidman. In October 2013, Urban introduced his own signature line of guitars and accessories.
