Songwriter / singer Keith Urban has plenty of material for songs for his next album, but he’s not waiting until then to speak about his 90-day stay in the Betty Ford Center. On Monday, he posted a video to his fans at his official web site.

“There was no cataclysmic event that happened right before I went in,” said Urban, who taped the message last Thursday. “What it was, was a lot of small things that were happening in my life and a lot of small moments that were starting to accumulate that were telling me very loud and clear that I was a long way from my program of recovery…and that were making my life unmanageable.”

He called the 90-day program one of the “most impactful times” of his whole life, and thanked his fans for all their support.
