Keith Urban at 2008 NFL Kickoff - Show at Columbus Circle, New York City, USA - 04.09.08

The singer/songwriter has been diagnosed with a slipped disc, but he's keen to address speculation he's in agony during shows.

He says, "The whole thing sort of gets exaggerated, as it often does. I just had sort of a bulging L5 disc... It was a little painful, but it just meant I had to perform a bit differently for a couple of shows we did recently.

"I just like to play a certain way, and it was weird to be a bit restricted... but I'm much better."
