Keith Urban just wrapped his High and Alive Tour . . . and received a very special birthday present that actually brought him to tears. It was given to him by one of Keith’s openers, Chase Matthew. He presented Keith with a custom guitar titled “The Rise of the Phoenix.” It was a Māori-inspired piece designed by artist Sam Mangakahia, who’s also created guitars for Post Malone and Jelly Roll.Sam described the design’s meaning in a video, and Keith had to wipe away tears.

I’ve thought about it a lot. When he starts thinking about it, that’s when it’ll happen.”
