Nicole's fury over KEITH & ADELE'S SECRET BOND

The Aussie singer saves the day but his wife is far from happy

Keith Urban is the quintessential nice bloke, who’s always ready and willing to help out his mates. But after stepping in to help his beleaguered friend Adele, the country crooner could be facing big trouble at home.

Woman’s Day has learned that Adele is “thanking her lucky stars” that Keith heroically agreed to fill several gaps left by her last-minute, controversial residency cancellations in Las Vegas – though friends say that while the Hello singer is “relieved and grateful” to Keith, 54, it’s quite the opposite for his wife Nicole Kidman.

“This has thrown out all their family’s plans and Nicole’s having to limit her commitments to pick up the slack at home,” says an insider. “But more than that, it feels like Adele’s snapped her fingers and people-pleaser Keith’s leapt to her assistance without any thought as to how it might affect the family.”

US reports claim the 33-year-old British singer axed her much-anticipated shows at Caesars Palace due to “issues with her boyfriend”, Rich Paul, 40, leaving one of the most powerful entertainment venues in the world empty.

TO THE RESCUE

It’s also said she clashed with set designers, and had issues with the props and sound systems provided at the legendary Colosseum auditorium.
