Keith Urban “Agrees” to Jump Out of a Cake to Fulfill Loretta Lynn’s Birthday Wish

In honor of Loretta Lynn’s 87th birthday on April 14, a number of artists will take part in her All-Star Birthday Celebration Concert at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on April 1.

The concert will feature performances by Alan Jackson, Brandy Clark, Darius Rucker, Garth Brooks, George Strait, Jack White, Kacey Musgraves, Keith Urban, Little Big Town, Margo Price, Martina McBride, Miranda Lambert, Pistol Annies, Trisha Yearwood and more.

In a new development, Keith Urban may be performing twice.

“I am so excited to celebrate my 87th birthday with all my friends,” says Loretta. “This is the first time I’ve ever had a birthday party! My birthday wish has come true. The only other wish I have is that Keith Urban jumps out of my birthday cake!”

It sounds like Loretta may get her second wish.

After Nash Country Daily posted Loretta’s wish via Twitter, Keith Urban responded by saying, “@lorettalynn… your wish is always my command Miss Loretta!!!! – KU.”

We’ll keep you updated with further “cake jumping” developments, but this concert is already a once-in-a-lifetime show. Tickets for the general public go on sale on Jan. 18 at 10 a.m. CT.
