And the country rocker and his Hollywood actress wife Nicole Kidman won't be deviating from what they know and love this Christmas when they spend the festive season in Australia. 

The 49-year-old told the Herald Sun on Monday that the pair will be heading for the beach after gathering their family round the piano for a singalong.

The American will also play the remaining three shows - one in Sydney and two in Brisbane - before Keith takes a break over Christmas. 

Despite having been on tour since June following the release of his ninth album, the hitmaker is still producing ideas for new songs - while admitting they may not go towards a tenth album.

He said: 'I don't know if I'm thinking of it in terms of the album but always in terms of the next thing to create.'

He said: 'For me, when she can pull me into a character and I still know that I'm watching my wife and yet I am totally drawn into the character, that always reminds me of how phenomenal she is at what she does.'
