And while he didn’t get to spend a lot of time with the former “American Idol” judge, he can tell that he’s “doing great” and “seemed in good spirits” despite his split from Kidman.
“He’s always been focused on music, and so I think he’s just kind of doubling down on that, and it’s just beautiful,” Dickerson told Page Six at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. “I can’t wait to hear what comes out of it.”
Dickerson also spoke highly of Urban, whom he considers his musical hero.
“I felt like a germ after every night because after every night, I was like, ‘I love you so much, you’re my hero,'” Dickerson told the outlet. “I’m sorry I say this so much, but I don’t say this to anybody else.”
Dickerson revealed that Urban has always been a huge influence on him.
“I’ve toured with all of them,” he added, referring to other country singers he’s performed with before. “But Keith Urban is my guy ….I learned his songs when I was learning guitar, and he’s such an influence on me learning guitar and everything.”
