Keith Urban on the Importance of Asking for Help

  • サマリー

  • Keith Urban may appear unhuman with his next-level guitar skills, but when it comes to emotions and life struggles, the Country superstar has walked through his fair share of challenges, just like the rest of us.

    During a recent interview with Audacy’s Katie Neal, Urban took some time to chat in solidarity with I’m Listening, Audacy’s mental health initiative. The “Better Life” singer shared parts of his experience dealing with his own mental health to let fans know they’re not alone.

    “I feel like I’ve had so many portals that I’ve walked through,” he said of the challenges he’s faced across his lifetime. “They’re all works in progress, but asking for help is probably number one — that’s the hardest thing to do.”

    Understanding it’s much easier said than done, Urban talked about some of the biggest intimidation factors that go into the big ask. “Sometimes, we don’t know who to ask for help,” he expressed. “We don’t trust people and we can get the wrong help. Like, wrong advice. You can have several people being like, ‘This is what you should do,' and they’re all wrong.”

    He continued, “That’s why it’s a process, but at some point, something becomes clear…. It’s about how we feel today, right now. Could I feel better?”

    At 56 years old, Urban understands some might feel it’s “too late” to make a change, regardless of how they feel, but he’s the first to say it’s never too late. “It’s never too late to break the chain… it’s not too late,” he stated. “The idea of, ‘Man, I should’ve done this years ago, I would’ve had a better life.’ There might be a bit of life ahead of you — that could be better if you deal with it now. It’s never too late.”

    Audacy's I’m Listening initiative aims to encourage those who are dealing with mental health issues to understand they are not alone. If you or anyone you know is struggling with depression or anxiety, know that someone is always there. Additionally, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 988.
