Keith Urban was a seemingly consistent piece in the otherwise revolving door of American Idol judges before it was axed from Fox last year.
And with ABC lapping up the rights to a 2018 reboot, the 49-year-old Australian has told Graham Norton he has ‘no idea’ if he’ll be asked to return.
If he does, the country singer may well be the lone returning member of the season 15 cast, with Katy Perry in, and host Ryan Seacrest and Jennifer Lopez both out.
‘No idea’: Keith Urban spoke to Graham Norton this week, revealing he has ‘no idea’ if he’ll be asked to return to ABC’s rebooted American Idol
Fellow Season 15 judge Harry Connick Jr’s involvement has also been left up in the air, while original villain Simon Cowell isn’t keen and alums Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson have both joined NBC rival The Voice.
When quizzed by prying host Graham on Friday, Keith remained positive but coy.
‘It’s great it’s returning. I had such a good time,’ he said.
‘I don’t know and I have no idea who’s coming back. I don’t even know if I am coming back!’
Good times! ‘It’s great it’s returning. I had such a good time, the 49-year-old said, insisting he didn’t know of any of the new cast hires
And apart from California Gurls singer Katy Perry’s recent confirmed addition to the 2018 cast, not many people do know who’ll appear alongside her.
Coldplay singer Chris Martin is receiving a lot of chatter as the boy most likely, according to the Belfast Telegraph.
Mariah Carey, they report, is more likely days away from inking a deal with the UK version of The X Factor.
