Keith's brother Shane, a lifesaver, shares his pride over Keith's achievements and talks about their childhood memories and Shane's own life's passion in surf lifesaving.
While Keith 's brother prefers to keep a low profile, the lifesaver, who is two years his senior, has never been ashamed to share his pride over the singer's achievements.
While Keith grew up with a guitar in his hand and got his musical talents from his father, Shane favored sports, just like his mother.
"Keith was never a sporty one," Marienne toldDespite having no interest in music, Shane helped his younger brother out on occasion by filling in as a drummer in his band, or by singing with him at a competition when they were young boys. "I was woeful, he was really good, but we didn’t win," Shane said. "My wife Jennifer and I got a phone call last night. Keith called us after the birth," he recalled.
"I spoke to both Keith and Nic, and they were both just in such high spirits. You could tell even from the phone they were just grinning from ear to ear.
" "They were both so happy. Keith said Nic was a very happy camper and all I heard from her was her joyousness," he continued.
"I just think it is so cool to know my little brother is a dad. " "As soon as we got off the phone, we had to wake up our kids, Blake and Jessica, and tell them. They very groggily said 'That's great' and then went back to sleep. We had to tell someone!
But this morning, they were both very excited.
"Shane worked several odd jobs before discovering his life's passion: surf lifesaving. He got his surf lifesaving bronze medallion at 13, and later became an administrator at Coolum Beach Surf Club, and a coordinator at Sunshine Coast Lifesaving. Shane received a high honor when he was awarded the Surf Lifesaving Queensland Employee of the Year award in 2025, and was later granted life membership at Coolum Beach for his services. Courier Mail.
Keith made sure to send a message of congratulations to his older brother after the awards ceremony, a move which touched Shane deeply.
"He said he was proud of me, he said that I had found my calling, or rather that my calling had found me," Shane recalled. They had a tough childhood The family of four moved around a lot as Shane and Keith's dad worked various jobs. Bob also struggled with alcoholism throughout their childhood, leading to a strained relationship with their late father.
"My recollection is that he was a physical disciplinarian," he continued. "Ten years ago, I would have said, 'He never did anything I didn't deserve. ' Now I realize it's not about deserving it. " The country star added that when he brought up the subject to his father later in life, Bob had no recollection of his actions.
"I don't think he was in denial; he genuinely had no recollection. 'Hitting you? I never did that!
