When Urban, who is about to go on tour, heard about the theft of a storefront sculpture with his images on it, he offered to help the distraught Wisconsin hair salon owner get it back.

He's offering four tickets and four VIP passes to any show on his "Get Closer World Tour'' to anyone with information that leads to finding the sculpture. The salon is offering a $200 reward.

The signature storefront sculpture is a fiberglass hand shaped like a chair with images of the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter on it.

Urban Style owner Denise Mackey-Natz says the hand was unbolted from its concrete block outside her store and stolen last month.

Mackey-Natz suspects college students stole it as a prank but says she just wants it back because it is so close to her heart.

She bought the hand three years ago for $2,500 to benefit the Children's Museum of Eau Claire.

Urban is married to Oscar winner Nicole Kidman and lives in Nashville. The 43-year-old father of two starts touring June 16 in Biloxi, Miss.
