Keith bumps up his first show back

 

It looks like Keith Urban will return to the stage for his first post-surgery performance a little sooner than expected. A press release issued yesterday revealed that Urban will appear at the Grand Ole Opry on Friday, Feb. 3. The singer’s return to doing what he does best has been bumped up a week. Urban is scheduled to take the stage at the historic Ryman Auditorium, where the Opry will close its winter run. It was previously announced that Urban’s first gig after having successful vocal cord surgery in late 2011 was supposed to take place on Feb. 10 in Austin, Texas at a benefit for those afflicted with batten disease. That show is still on Urban’s itinerary.
