On October 8, 2009, country music star Keith Urban gave fans an unforgettable performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City as part of his Escape Together World Tour. During the show, Urban performed one of the most personal songs of his career — “Thank You” — a heartfelt ballad from his 2009 album Defying Gravity.
The song was written as a tribute to his wife, Nicole Kidman, and her unwavering support during one of the most difficult times in his life. Urban has spoken openly about his struggles with addiction and his 2006 stay in rehab, which happened just a few months after he and Nicole got married.
