Keith Urban is set to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry.

The country superstar received a surprise invitation to join the coveted country institution in front of about 16,000 people Tuesday night at his "All for the Hall" benefit concert in Nashville.

The Opry honor came in the form of a black duffel bag brought on-stage by Vince Gill.

Keith unzipped the bag to find a Grand Ole Opry microphone stand.

When Urban is inducted on April 21, he'll become the first member not born in North America.
