Urban "Grateful" To Have Survived Rehab
Country star Keith Urban is "grateful" he managed to survive a second stint in rehab.
In his first TV interview since being released from treatment, Urban told NBC's "Today" show that his drinking problem had become "unmanageable" again, even though his personal and professional lives were going well.
Urban says there was no specific incident that sent him back to rehab, it was just time.
He admitted himself four months after marrying actress Nicole Kidman. He says "we've got through a lot and she's been extraordinary."
Urban will go on tour this April to promote his new CD, "Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing." He told Lauer that title just felt like the right one for the album.Photos: Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman
Last month, the singer posted a video message on his Web site in which he thanked all his fans, family and friends for their support during his stay. He said his wife was instrumental to his success.
"My wife stayed extraordinarily strong and loving, and my friends and family were there," he said. "It's just been — it's been really overwhelming."
