Keith Urban has a back injury

keith_urban.jpg New dad Keith Urban has recently been diagnosed with a slipped disc in his back according to his publicist Paul Freundlich. There’s no word on what might have caused the injury (and in the case of backs sometimes it is unknown) but the injury apparently won’t affect his current touring schedule.

Keith himself mentioned his back problems to his fans at a concert in Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa in Kelseyville, CA on Saturday night.

Urban, 40, has been dividing his time between his North American tour dates and spending time in Australia with Nicile Kidman and their new baby daughter Sunday Rose. The baby is just 7 weeks old.

If you’re following Urbans tour dates he’s next set to perform at this weekends Country Rocks Festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, after that he’ll be in New York City at Columbus Circle for the NFL’s kickoff show on September 5th.

Bobby Brown recovering from mild heart attack

bobby_brown.jpg Did you hear the news about Bobby Brown? He was hospitalized on Tuesday after having a mild heart attack.

His rep, Phaedra Parks, stated that he’s in great spirits and that he hopes to perform this weekend at the V100 Taste of Soul concert and festival in Los Angeles. Hello … he just had a heart attack. Cancel the gig!

Bobby is only 40 years old! I wonder if all the partying and drugs like coke caught up with him.

On Tuesday afternoon Brown began to feel chest pains and he was rushed to the hospital. By Wednesday morning he apparently “has a great prognosis from his doctors” said his rep. He was even expected to be released later that day.

Brown is still going through divorce and custody proceedings with Whitney Houston, 44. Their next court date is scheduled for October, 22nd.

Have you ever been to the Burning Man festival? It’s an eight day festival in the Nevada Desert and it takes place from August 27th to September 3rd this year.

One of the highlights of the festival is the burning of a huge 40 foot tall man statue. The statue wasn’t supposed to be set aflame until Saturday, but an arsonist lit the statue and made it a burning man on Tuesday.

There are reports that festival participants were heard chanting “Save the man, save the man!”.

Authorities have charged Paul Addis for torching the statue and have charged him with Arson and a misdemeanor possession of fireworks.

The wooden statue will be rebuilt in time for the scheduled burning at 9 pm Saturday September 1st.
