It is not every day a huge music star like Keith Urban, who is 58 years old, gets completely surprised. He was celebrating his birthday when his opening act, Chase Matthew, and his whole team walked up to him backstage. They wanted to thank him for letting them join his tour, especially the shows in Australia. You could tell that something big and special was about to happen.
The moment was full of warmth and respect between musicians. Chase Matthew gave Keith Urban a gift, and Urban’s eyes filled with tears. The gift was a beautiful, one-of-a-kind acoustic Gibson guitar. It showed the deep, real love and gratitude between them.
We’ve had such a blast on tour with you Keith Urban
The guitar’s design was even more amazing, carved by an artist named Sam Mangakahia. This one-of-a-kind art was inspired by the Māori people and called “Phoenix.” The design was meant to show ideas of fearlessness and love. Keith Urban was so moved by the beautiful work and the thoughtfulness of the gift that he called it “breathtaking” and “exquisite.”
This moment of being truly touched reminded us of the whole story, a story that does not end with a gift. After all the emotional highs of the tour and receiving such a meaningful present, Keith Urban had his own message to share. The journey was about to turn to the next exciting chapter.
