Keith Urban’s “Passionate” Fans

If you’ve ever been to a Keith Urban show, you know that at some point, he jumps off stage, and goes into the crowd, taking the show to his fans.  You never know where he’ll show up or what he’ll do.  He told Country Countdown USA’s Lon Helton it’s led to a few injuries:

“I still have a huge gash on my left shin.  That was inflicted during one of the arenas about 3 years ago. I was running through the crowd and didn’t know there was a chair there, and it caught the edge of this chair.  Then I started wearing shin pads under my jeans specifically for going into the crowd.  It wasn’t pretty.  But I wear shin pads, I slip ’em down, pull my socks up over them, put the jeans over ’em, and I’m good to go into the crowd.”

So have people gone home with hair?  “They have.  They get very passionate out there.  What can I say?  The funniest thing is the big claw marks sometimes.  I came home one night with these three claw marks across my chest.  These huge three nail drag marks, and I thought, ‘Thank God my wife knows what I do for a living.  I’ve got the footage to prove where it came from!”
