Troubled country star KEITH URBAN is planning to make his first public appearance next month, after battling his alcohol problems in rehab in Chicago, Illinois.

The singer, who has spent the past two months in rehab facilities after confessing he’d relapsed as an alcoholic, has decided his life as a recluse is nearing an end and he’s planning to face his fans again.

Urban has announced he’ll play a show at the Chicago Theatre on February 8 as part of a local country radio station’s Live Country for Kids concert series.

The concert will benefit the St Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.

The show was originally scheduled for November 11, but Urban was forced to pull out of the concert to attend to his personal problems.
