During his last Las Vegas residency in May of this year, his famous wife Nicole Kidman joined him on stage to say hi to fans. Keith posted a video clip of the moment when Nicole joined him on stage, and he asked jokingly, 'What's your name?' She replied, "Nicole Urban." Keith then led her to get her jacket that was left on stage. He told the crowd when she left the stage, "Just a Saturday night in Las Vegas."

Keith Urban is a superstar in country music and a gem of a man who plays the guitar like no one else before him or since. His concerts are epic, and he changes them for each city he is in to fit that city.

Recently in Nashville, he bought up-and-coming country singer, who sang in the bar across the street from the Bridgestone Arena, to sing with him giving her two songs and one heck of a push in the music industry.

In the same show, he brought out superstar Luke Combs to sing a couple of songs and even brought his wife, Oscar winner Nicole Kidman to the stage just to say hi to his fans.

It's hard to find just 20 songs that encompass the mega-career of Urban, but we ranked what we believe are his very best for his 55th birthday today (10/26).
