The country superstar previewed his new Country Music Hall of Fame exhibit, Keith Urban So Far, on Tuesday night (Dec. 1), and revealed afterward that his beloved father, Robert Urban, is in hospice care.
"He's probably only got a few weeks left, if that", he revealed. I have just been coping with in that the last twosome of days. My dad is the catalyst for me living in America.'Keith didn't allege what his dad was struggling from or whether or not he was in a hospice in Australia or America.

He says it's better that he didn't know how long it would take to make his name there.
The star said to The Tennessean: 'My dad particularly always thought it was important that I dressed like a perform. The musician, 48, was born in New Zealand and grew up there and in Australia.
There's no doubt that Keith's wife, Nicole Kidman will be a great source of support during this hard time.
Keith has been in the studio working on his new album, which includes his current single, "Break On Me".
Prayers for Keith Urban's father!
The Grammy Award victor even shared a story about the time his father encouraged him to buy a Don Williams album, just because he knew it would be good. I didn't know anything about love.
Urban fought addiction - habits he developed when his career didn't go as smoothly as planned.
He did not get clean until 2006, shortly after he Wednesday Kidman, who arranged an intervention and a rehab stint at the Betty Ford Center.
After they were married Nicole staged an intervention which led to him seeking treatment at the Betty Ford Clinic.
Keith also gave a shout out to his dad earlier this year on Instagram. I'd love to have more years, why not?
