Keith Urban hangs up on Aussie radio hosts when asked intimate question about wife Nicole Kidman
Keith Urban left two Adelaide radio hosts in shock when he hung up on them live on air after they asked an intimate question about his wife, Nicole Kidman. The country music star called into Mix 102.3's Hayley & Max in the Morning on Tuesday, ahead of the Aussie leg of his High and Alive world tour next month, when the line suddenly went dead. Advertisement Urban was in good spirits at the start of the interview as he expressed his excitement to play at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on August 28 because it's 'just a good vibe in the audience,' he said. But the interview went downhill when hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford asked him to take part in the show's 'Wall of Truth' segment. 4 Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban attend the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards at The Star in Frisco on May 8, 2025 in Texas.

Burford asked before the line grew silent. 'What just happened here?' he asked as a producer said, 'He's disconnected from Zoom.' 'I think his team hung up on us because they didn't want us to ask that question,' the producer added. 'He's gone, see you Keith.' Pearson was rattled that they've 'upset' the Grammy winner and had a feeling 'that would happen.' Advertisement 4 Radio hosts Hayley Pearson and Max Burford. Mix102.3 'Does Keith Urban hate us? Do we have beef with Keith Urban now?' Burford wondered before telling her, 'If you knew this was going to happen, Hayley, why didn't you stop me asking the question?' It's no secret that Urban doesn't like talking about his famous wife. Last September, the singer was invited on the 'Jam Nation with Jonesy & Amanda' podcast to chat about his new album High and upcoming world tour, when the chat focused on Kidman being at the Venice Film Festival.

Is that what it was called?' she asked Urban, to which he bluntly corrected her: 'G'day LA.' Keller suggested that if the pair hadn't met that fateful night, they perhaps might never have met at all. 'If you hadn't both been there that day, would your paths somewhere have inevitably crossed? Or maybe … this incredible love story wouldn't have happened,' she wondered. 4 Keith Urban at the CMA's on June 6, 2025. Jason Davis/AdMedia / 'No, I think it would,' Urban insisted. 'Yeah? Are you a believer in fate or do you think it's two Australians, it would have happened?' she persisted, with Urban replying, 'No idea.'

Clearly done with questions about his wife, Urban shut down the topic with three simple words: 'Anyway, moving on.'

Wayne Dawson talks about when he'll return to FOX 8
CLEVELAND (WJW) – Longtime FOX 8 News in the Morning anchor Wayne Dawson is sharing a powerful message of resilience. He was declared cancer-free just weeks ago, after undergoing extensive treatment for oral cancer. Bear spotted in Trumbull County backyard The veteran broadcaster was diagnosed with oral cancer in May 2024. After a grueling year of treatment and recovery, doctors declared him in remission on May 21. 'I'm in remission and that's a blessing,' Dawson said. 'There's no sign of cancer in my body.' While the news is uplifting, Dawson acknowledged the physical toll of treatment remains. 'Still feeling the effects of chemo and radiation,' he said. 'My taste is not 100%.' One of the most visible reminders of his battle is dental: 'They pulled my teeth out to get the cancer out,' Dawson explained. 'They have to put my teeth back in.' Doctors won't be able to do that until six months after radiation, which puts his dental reconstruction timeline in late August or early September. 'And I'll admit there are some days that I'm feeling pretty good and other days I wake up and I don't really like what I see in the mirror,' he said. Despite the challenges, Dawson is focused on healing and returning to the anchor desk. 'Then after that I'm going to work very hard to get back on the news at FOX 8 News in the Morning,' he said. He's also using his platform to speak directly to others facing cancer. 'I know what you're going through. I know what you've been through,' Dawson said. 'Don't give up, don't give in.' Ground beef sold nationwide possibly contaminated with E. Coli His mantra throughout the journey has been to stay positive, a message he's extending to those still fighting. 'When you're going through this fight you have to stay positive,' he said. 'I had shirts that said 'Fight Like Wayne.' I want you to fight better than me.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
