Keith Urban showed he’s one of music’s genuine nice guys by buying a teenager a new guitar pedal.
The Nashville-based country singer was shopping at Brisbane’s Tym Guitars when he noticed the teenager playing with the fuzz pedal.
“Keith came back down the counter and was chatting away and had picked out a guitar he liked,” store owner Tym Brennan recounted to ABC Radio. “He had heard the kid trying out the pedal for some time and he just leaned over and whispered, ‘How much is the pedal that kid’s looking at?’ “I said, ‘It’s $450, it’s not a cheap one’, and he just whispered, ‘Put it on my card.’
“Obviously I was quite shocked.
“I said, ‘Do you want me to tell him?’, and he said, ‘No, wait ’til I leave.'”
Keith shook the boy’s hand, wished him a merry Christmas, and left. Once the store owner gave him the happy news, the young kid promptly called his dad to say Keith Urban had bought him a birthday present.
What a cool story!
