On Saturday night, October 26, the Concert for Carolina—led by Luke Combs and Eric Church—took place to raise funds for victims of Hurricane Helene. With a star-studded lineup featuring James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Bailey Zimmerman, and many others, fans were expecting an unforgettable night filled with exceptional performances and surprises. However, a surprise moment no one saw coming was when Nicole Kidman and Eric Church led the crowd in a spontaneous rendition of “Happy Birthday” for Keith Urban.
That’s exactly what happened when Kidman took the stage during the sold-out event to join her husband, Keith Urban, one of the headliners of the night. Kidman shared how proud she and Urban were to be in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the event, which she explained came about thanks to a call from Eric Church to Keith. She also took a moment to highlight her husband’s 57th birthday, saying, “I do wanna say, it’s his birthday tonight and he went, ‘The one thing I can do….’” She explained how Urban was thrilled to spend his special day performing for the benefit.
Before stepping offstage, Kidman and Urban invited Eric Church to join them, and the Chief led the crowd in singing “Happy Birthday” to Urban, who appeared a little sheepish but clearly delighted by the unexpected, fun moment.
Following the birthday celebration, Church stayed onstage for a duet with Urban, where the two performed their 2013 hit “Raise ‘Em Up.”
The Concert for Carolina was a heartfelt effort that started when Luke Combs, a North Carolina native, vowed to do something to help those affected by the devastating hurricane. The event sold out Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium, and it was also livestreamed on Veeps.
Proceeds from the Concert for Carolina will be donated to the Chief Cares Foundation, with Combs directing his portion to organizations such as Samaritan’s Purse, Manna Food Bank, Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, and Eblen Charities.
