Country singer and reality show judge Keith Urban covers PEOPLE magazine’s Country Special issue and talks about his busy life.
He is midway through a 58-city Light the Fuse tour to promote his latest album and is busy taping his second season of ‘American Idol.’
Urban revealed in the interview, “Somewhere in the last couple of years, I’ve really grasped the concept of the brevity of time. It’s very, very fleeting. No matter how many years are ahead of us, it will all be gone very quickly. I don’t want to miss any of it.”
He and his actress wife Nicole Kidman have two young daughters, Sunday Rose, 5, and Faith, 2.
So how does one stay in the moment with such a busy life? He acknowledged, “Nic and I say, ‘Balance is never achieved; it’s just maintained.’ I’m a guy, so I’m not used to having to maintain anything.”
“I’m used to achieving something, and good, that’s done, move on to the next thing. No, no, this marriage, this family, it’s a garden. It’s not fixed and then you move on; it’s maintained on a daily basis. I finally get that now.”
Urban released ‘Fuse,’ his eighth studio album, in September. It features duets with Miranda Lambert and Eric Church and includes his lead single, ‘Little Bit of Everything.’
