Keith Urban changes lyrics during his stage performance

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman’s separation came as a surprise to many. After 19 years together, the split shocked fans. During his stage performance, Urban appeared to express some of his emotions through his music while performing his fan-favorite breakup song 'You’ll Think of Me.'

“Take your memories, I don’t need ’em / Take your space and take your reasons / But you’ll think of me,” are the original lyrics of the track.

However, he added his own twist, changing the lyrics to, “Take your memories, I don’t need ’em / Take your space and all your stupid bulls**t reasons.” He also included the line, “You shouldn’t have treated me this way.”

Despite their separation, both have continued with their professional commitments. Kidman made a public appearance at an amfAR charity auction in Dallas on Saturday, October 4, just four days after filing for divorce.

Meanwhile, Urban has been the subject of rumors about a possible relationship with his 25-year-old guitarist, Maggie Baugh. Speculation intensified after Urban altered the lyrics of his song 'The Fighter' during a performance, replacing the original line with “Maggie, I’ll be your guitar player,” according to the publication.
