Keith Urban's 'Long Hot Summer' lights up 2011 Billboard Music Awards
Twitter
GoogleCountry superstar Keith Urban was on hand with his beautiful wife Nicole Kidman for the 2011 Billboard Music Awards. Urban performed his 2010 single "Long Hot Summer," which has so far been released in only Canada and Australia. Perhaps this is the single's coming out party in the United States?
Not only was he rocking the guitar for "Summer," but in one of the funnier bits of the night, Urban had a little dueling banjos moment with Billboard host Ken Jeong. Urban showed off not only the infamous dueling banjos song, but also a little "Stairway to Heaven" and several other songs, if you were listening closely.
We'll post video of the dueling banjos bit as soon as we can find it, it was pretty great. Did you catch it?
