Jake Owen had a great day Friday, and he took to his Twitter account to reveal why: "You guys got the NEWS!!!!! I'm on tour ALL summer starting in June with Keith Urban!!!! I'm so excited I have to pee."

Then, he added, “New record, new single, and the Keith Urban tour ... I'm starting to love 2011."

Urban invited the ACM Award-winning Owen to join him on the U.S. leg of his Get Closer Tour, beginning on June 16 in Biloxi, Miss. Urban's 2011 tour boasts all new stage production.

The ‘Don’t Think I Can’t Love You’ singer said, "I’m honored to join Keith on his tour. Keith and his band are some of the greatest entertainers in the world, and I’m looking forward to getting out there and watching him play every night. This is going to be truly an amazing summer!"

As a young man, Owen decided to pursue a career as a professional golfer, winning his first tournament at age 15 -- but while attending Florida State University, a waterskiing accident put him in the hospital for surgery that left him unable to play golf as he once had. While convalescing from his injuries (and so many artists have a similar story), he borrowed a neighbor's guitar and taught himself how to play.
