Keith Urban Concludes High and Alive Tour in Nashville Without Guitarist Maggie Baugh: A Look at Their Musical Journey and Recent Developments
Keith Urban recently concluded his High and Alive tour in Nashville, Tennessee, without his guitarist Maggie Baugh by his side. Baugh, who usually performs with Urban, was in a different state for her own show in Carmel, Indiana on the same evening. The two had been collaborating since 2014, with Baugh joining Urban's band full time after their initial performance together at the CMT awards. Speculation arose about a possible romantic involvement between Urban and Baugh following Urban's divorce from Nicole Kidman, but neither party has addressed the rumors.
Baugh's father dismissed the affair allegations on his Facebook page, stating that there was no truth to the claims. Since Kidman filed for divorce, Baugh has been focusing on her solo career and has been absent from Urban's tour band. Natalie Stovall has taken her place in the band. Baugh has been busy with her own shows and recently released a new song titled "The Devil Wins," which explores the struggle of fighting temptations.
Due to logistical reasons, there are no plans for Baugh to return to Urban's tour. Urban had to cancel a show in Greenville, South Carolina, due to laryngitis, as advised by his doctor. Laryngitis is an inflammation of the voice box that can be caused by overuse, irritation, or infection. Urban apologized to his fans for the cancellation and expressed his eagerness to return to Greenville for a future performance. Refunds were issued to ticket holders for the canceled show.
