After 25 years, country music star parts ways with popular band member

When Keith Urban takes the stage in 2025, fans may notice that things look a little different.

And the reason for this is that Urban will be missing one performer who has shared the stage with him for over twenty years.

Jerry Flowers, the bassist and band leader for Urban, according to Taste of Country, confirmed his dismissal.

“After 25 years on stage with Keith Urban, I will no longer be in the band as Keith has decided to make a lineup change,” Flowers posted on Instagram with a heavy heart.I will always love and respect Keith with all of my heart, and I cherish the wonderful years we shared. I want to express my gratitude to all of my fans for their unwavering support over the years, and I hope that our performances have helped to bring you joy and happiness. I’m eager to explore what lies ahead for me and am going to start exploring new options.

Many thanks!

Many admirers appeared to be disappointed by the announcement.

One individual wrote, “Best wishes.” Since you’ve been there from the beginning, it also makes me sad! I love you both, but Keith would be devastated to lose you both.

According to Taste of Country, Urban also severed his relationship with Nathan Barlowe, a member of the band.

Regretfully, Barlowe posted on Instagram, “My time with Keith Urban is coming to an end.”How grateful I am for the past nine years is beyond words. I have given it my all and enjoyed every moment of it. I appreciate your belief in me, Keith.
