Country singer Keith Urban was invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry tonight, during All For The Hall 2012 concert to benefit the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. He was invited to join by friend and Opry member Vince Gill.
Keith said after getting the official Opry invitation: “Thank you. Thank you so much, Oh my God. I don’t know what to say. Thank you so much to everyone at the Grand Ole Opry that made this possible. It’s a huge honor and how beautiful to have this happen tonight of all nights. I have such a long list of people to thank, but especially the fans, but also the people of Nashville. I always wanted to play the Opry and I’ll always remember the first time I played it. I can’t thank you enough, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Keith will become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry on April 21st.
Keith Urban is recovering well from successful throat surgery. Urban had a polyp removed from his vocal chords Tuesday and yesterday a spokesperson for the country singer said he was “doing fine.”
