The yearly Toowoomba “It’s A Bloke Thing” luncheon attracted a lot of attention when Keith Urban showed up out of the blue. At the Prostate Cancer Awareness/Fundraiser event at Wellcamp Airport, the well-known country music performer—who is enthusiastic about spreading awareness about prostate cancer—played for over 500 people.
Urban is deeply personally invested in the cause. His father, Robert, passed away in December 2015 from prostate cancer; other family members also experienced the disease. Urban’s personal interest in the topic is demonstrated by the article’s claim that “He was powerless to cure his father of the illness.”
