Keith Urban, a famous country singer from Australia, surprised his fans by singing a popular song called “Never Tear Us Apart” with Andrew Farriss. Andrew is one of the people who started the band INXS and wrote many of their songs. This exciting performance happened at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, a special place for music lovers.
The two musicians played their guitars and sang together while a big crowd cheered loudly. At first, Andrew performed some of his best songs by himself. Then he invited Keith to join him on stage. Andrew told the audience about the first time he met Keith, long before Keith became a big star. He said, “I told Keith he didn’t need any help—he just needed to keep doing what he was doing.” Now, Keith is a superstar with lots of hit songs and awards.
The crowd clapped and shouted happily when Keith came out with his guitar. Keith said, “It’s a big honor to play this song with Andrew Farriss.” Then they started singing “Never Tear Us Apart,” a song Andrew wrote with his friend Michael Hutchence from INXS in 1987. Michael passed away in 1997 when he was only 37 years old.
Keith is getting ready for a big tour in Australia called the High and Alive Tour Down Under. It starts in August 2025 and will be his first time performing there since December 2022. He’s excited to share his new album called High with his fans. Keith will sing in nine big arenas with a new country singer named Chase Matthew opening the shows.
