Surprise! Keith Urban gets a shocker at benefit
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Keith Urban was slyly dropping hints about the surprises he had in store at the All For The Hall benefit concert this week, but little did he know the night's biggest surprise was aimed at him.
Vince Gill and members of Rascal Flatts, The Oak Ridge Boys and Diamond Rio surprised Urban with the announcement he will officially join The Grand Ole Opry later this month, a revelation that clearly took the Australian country star by surprise.
So, wasn't it just a perfect "coincidence" that Rascal Flatts, the most recent invitees to the Opry... JUST happened to be on the benefit roster this year! And doesnt it seem to also be a happy coincidence that the last minute press for this "BENEFIT FOR ORB" would be "SURPRISES!" So to add to the orb's TOTALLY fantastic luck...in ONLY the span of 2 days...the orb scheduled his "BENEFIT FOR ORB', proceeds to go to the Hall....and only the day prior, just happened to release a rehashed single to radio, who's proceeds he just announced would go to charity...then he has the "Hall of fame" staff arrange a morning of the "BENEFIT FOR ORB"...a "suprise" breakfast...for 400 hundred of HIS fansiesite members...it comes out this week that the orb participated in a "charity single" organized by Billy Gilman. Now, the night of the "BENEFIT FOR ORB"...orb is "surprised" by an invite to the Opry! Well, that sure smacks of PR whoring to me. The orb "glutony" for press these past two days shows JUST how desperate to try and keep his career viable! BUT...as his soundtrack single for the film Act of Valor...released only about a month ago on itunes has only sold a certain paltry amount shows...this "media mongering" will translate NOT ONE iota to the sales of his cds or singles...or help shore up his faltering concert ticket sales. That is ONE thing I am VERY sure of!!
