Keith Urban's recent show at the New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash on December 31, 2024, was marred by a technical glitch. This happened during Parker McCollum was on stage performing his single.

According to News X, during Parker McCollum's performance of his single Pretty Heart, people were able to hear Keith Urban's voice in the background.

The problem was also reported by those who were watching the event live. The organizers are yet to share a response regarding the technical issue.

Notably, the NYE event was available for live-streaming on various platforms such as CBS and Paramount+, and Keith also served as the host along with model and actress Rachel Smith, as per USA Today.
