Keith Urban found the death of his father-in-law "huge".
The 'American Idol' judge and his wife Nicole Kidman - with who he has daughters Sunday, six, and Faith, three - were left devastated in August when Dr. Antony Kidman passed away suddenly and the country crooner admits he has found it hard without the beloved family member.
He said: "The loss of Nic's dad was huge. I can't even describe what that moment was like for our family. I was very, very close to Nic's dad."
Antony's death caused Keith to miss shooting 'American Idol' auditions in New York and he was very grateful to have such "amazing" support, both from the staff on the show and his fans.
He told reporters on a conference call: "Adam Lambert stepped up and filled in for me. It was an amazing thing to see that support. I am very grateful, and I don't take those things for granted. You would think people would have a heart.
"When I saw it in action with all of the network at FOX and all of the people involved with 'Idol', and then of course my fan base, it was an extraordinary thing."

Whoopi Goldberg insists she didn't fart on 'The View'.
The 59-year-old star appeared to let rip on the US talk show on Wednesday (10.12.14) during a 'Hot Topics' debate in which singer Ashanti was discussing whether or not she thinks people should get a flu jab but insists the audible noise that disrupted the debate was an unusual sound effect that she quickly made a joke about.
She said: "There was a sound effect that we had never heard before. I'm thinking, 'Damn, that's weird, what can I do?' Oh, I know! I'm gonna pretend I let a little something go. As a joke.
""Now, these folks are emailing people, running up on people saying, 'How do you feel about the fart that Whoopi did on 'The View'?' It's a joke!
"I know you think that I don't [make jokes] any more, I do, I make funnies. I don't fart on air for real!"
Whoopi was previously reported to have broke wind while sitting on a sofa with 'Homeland' star Claire Danes and fellow host Joy Behar in 2011 and though her co-star appeared offended by a putrid pong, the actress insists that too was a joke.
On the show yesterday (11.12.14), she added: This is the second time I've covered something like this because sometimes I hear something and I think, 'Oh, we got to do something to get attention from it,' and so I try to move it and that's the fastest 'cause the fart joke works [instantly] like that.
"So everybody relax, I didn't fart on air, it was a joke."
The mysterious farting incident this week happened after a camera was firmly focused on Ashanti when a sudden explosion of air could be heard.
Whoopi then sat in her seat looking sheepish and embarrassingly said: "Excuse me! Oooh, oooh."
The panel and studio audience erupted into a gale of laughter and Whoopi then stood up, put her hand in the air and said: "Hold on for a minute."
Whoopi's fellow panellist Rosie O'Donnell then walked around the desk and started to jokingly wave her hands up and down in a desperate attempt to rid the studio of Whoopi's whiffy wind.
The other panellists joined in by picking up pieces of paper on their desks and frantically waving them up and down to try to exterminate Goldberg's gas.
Whoopi then declared: "Oh, I feel so much better now!"

Ben Haenow and Fleur East have chosen the same 'X Factor' winner's single.
The wannabe popstars - who are both mentored by over 25s judge Simon Cowell - have revealed they've both chosen the same song to release if they're crowned winner of the competition this weekend.
Quizzed by Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes on ITV's 'This Morning' on whether it was true they'd both decided on the same track, Ben said: "Yes it's 'Something I Need' by OneRepublic."
Andrea Faustini - who is the last remaining act from Mel B's boys category - will be sticking to what he does best by releasing a power ballad if he comes in first place.
He said: "I can tell? 'I Didn't Know My Own Strength' by Whitney Houston."
Ben has confessed they've been putting their all into rehearsals ahead of the first leg of the ITV talent show final tomorrow (13.12.14).
He added: "I think we've all got our heads in the game now and we all desperately want to win the competition and to have that released as a single and a Christmas song would be the most incredible thing ever."
Meanwhile, Andrea has commented on reports Mel - who is said to have been struck by a mystery illness - could be set to miss the final altogether.
He said: "Yes I heard that she's not so well but I think she be fine and it's okay."

Ellie Goulding flashed some risqué side-boob in a plunging nude blazer which left little to the imagination, and covered up her bottom half in matching laced-up trousers for the BBC Music Awards in London. The 'Burn' singer performed with Calvin Harris in a different outfit later in the evening, but it was this strange salmon-coloured outfit which had everyone talking.
