On Sunday\u00a0(Feb. 22), <a href=\"https:\/\/musicrow.com\/2026\/02\/borman-entertainments-gary-borman-retires\/\" target=\"_blank\">Borman revealed<\/a> that after 50 years he was retiring and shuttering his company. Urban\u00a0was gracious in his response to the news.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so grateful to Gary (and my entire Borman Nashville family) for the most incredible and successful time together,\u201d he said in a statement first shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2026\/02\/22\/entertainment\/keith-urban-fires-entire-management-team-after-divorcing-nicole-kidman\/\" target=\"_blank\">Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt was extraordinary what we were able to accomplish together and I\u2019ll forever be grateful for the creative and collaborative spirit we were all a part of for so long. I wish Gary and everyone at Borman Entertainment the very best journey ahead and look forward to what the future holds for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear if any other country artists were on Borman\u2019s roster at the time. A 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/musicrow.com\/2022\/01\/borman-entertainment-announces-company-wide-expansion\/\" target=\"_blank\">article in Music Row<\/a> listed a roster that featured <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/tags\/tyler-hubbard\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tyler Hubbard,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/tags\/mickey-guyton\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mickey Guyton<\/a>, Abbey Cone and Track 45<\/p>\n<p>During his career, Borman has worked with the Bee Gees, James Taylor, <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/tags\/dwight-yoakam\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dwight Yoakam<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tasteofcountry.com\/tags\/faith-hill\/\">Faith Hill,<\/a> Steve Moir, the Rolling Stones and more.<\/p>\n<p>Urban gave no indication where he would turn next for management. 2026 is shaping to be a relatively quiet year for him as he&#8217;s not announced a tour or album. At his <a href=\"https:\/\/keithurban.com\/pages\/tour\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a> he does have numerous festival dates across America and Europe.<\/p>\n<div class=\"photogallery-wrapper blog-photogallery \">\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">27 Men Who Deserve To Be In the Country Music Hall of Fame<\/h2>\n<div class=\"photogallery-description\">\n<p>You could make a case for dozens of country stars to be next up in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
