Keith Urbandelighted fans in Alabamawhen he donned an apron and served up barbecue at a local Buc-ee's before performing a pop-up concert in the store's parking lot over the weekend.
Keith, 56, looked worlds away from his glamorous A-list life dressed in a black Buc-ee's T-shirt, the chain's official apron, a cowboy hat, and blue disposable gloves as he chopped brisket meat behind the counter in Athens as customers cheered him on.
In a video shared on Keith's TikTokpage, the Somebody Like You hitmaker is heard shouting: 'Fresh brisket on the board!' before a male member of staff instructs him on how to cut it.
The Texas-born convenience store chain is known for its brisket sandwiches and Keith appeared to be a natural at chopping up the cooked beef, and as he poured sauce over the meat, he shouted: 'Fresh sauce on the board!' as the crowd cheered and repeated the words back to him.
Keith's followers were quick to like and comment on the post as one person wrote: 'That's so awesome,' while another joked: 'Employee of the month.'

A third fan commented: 'He's having so much fun,' while a fourth added: 'Keith Urban & Buc-ee's = the collab I never knew we needed.'
Someone else wrote: 'Great job Keith,' while a different person said: 'I absolutely loved this surprise!!! It was so much fun to be a part of it,' and another fan referred to Keith's free performance and said: 'Thank you so much for this amazing night.'
The tattooed singer, who is married to fellow Australian and Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman, alerted fans to his appearance with a post on Facebook last Friday which read: '8PM TONIGHT. ATHENS, AL @bucees. We'll see ya outside in the parking lot - it's gonna be a blast!'
According to Athens Police Department Capt. Brett Constable, about 5,500 people turned up for the show - despite fans only being given a few hours'notice.
'I came down to this Buc-ee's about a month ago. And when I left, I went, "It'd be kind of fun to do a show there,"' Keith told the crowd during the concert in an Instagram video posted by WAFF-TV in Huntsville, Alabama.
The father-of-two said his 'cave man brain' told him it would be fun to set up a little stage for a small audience as he admitted: 'I swear to you, I thought maybe 100, 200 people.'
One fan named Cindy Wilson told FOX 54 WZDX-TV: 'I was at work and we heard it on the radio that there was going to be a surprise concert at Buc-ee's in Athens. And I was like, "Oh my God, it's on my way home," and it's 15 minutes from my house. So I couldn't believe it!'
Keith's Buc-ee's appearance comes just a few weeks after he was photographed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris with wife Nicole, 57, and their two daughters: Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

The famous couple and their teenage kids were cheering on US gymnast Simone Biles during the women's finals of Artistic Gymnastics, and were spotted taking a family selfie.
Last month, it was reported by New Idea magazine that Keith was secretly thrilled that Nicole's latest romcom, A Family Affair, failed to resonate with film critics.
In the film, which is available to stream on Netflix, Nicole plays the role of writer Brook Harwood, while her costar Zac Efron takes on the role of vain movie star Chris Cole.
An insider told the magazine it didn't sit right with Keith seeing his wife get cozy with Zac, after the pair last portrayed lovers 12 years ago in the buzzy crime drama The Paperboy.
'He absolutely trusts Nicole but it unnerved him seeing her get so cozy with Zac on-screen a second time around,' the source said.
'She likely won't be doing a third, which, deep down, has made Keith happy to no end — something he's having to keep to himself of course!'
