Heartbroken Keith Urban Gives Emotional Acoustic Tribute To Musicians Who Died

YouTube/Keith Urban

In a New Year’s Day celebration that will make you weep, country crooner and beloved musician Keith Urban delivers one of the most beautiful tributes to musicians passed that you’re likely to ever hear! 

Just days ago, we reported on his dazzling and delightful duet with elegant and statuesque wife, Nicole Kidman, in which the two sang a two-part version of this tune, but now you get to hear it up close and personal! 

Posted to his official YouTube account, Urban sits on the edge of his sofa with just his guitar and pours his heart and soul into this mash-up of hits from those legendary and notable artists that we have lost during 2016. 

This powerful and heart-breaking tribute includes bits from songs released by Merle Haggard, Leonard Cohen, Glenn Frey, David Bowie, Prince, and George Michael – among others.

You can feel the raw emotion as he moves swiftly throughout each verse and smoothly transitions between songs, giving each and every one his all; paying homage to many great contributors to modern music.
