Country music star Trace Adkins pops onto the scene of The Young and the Restless to sing as a surprise for Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Phyllis' (Michelle Stafford) first anniversary this Friday.

The crooner's character is written as ''a friend of the guy who owned the bar where they got married'' (that would be Rocky, played by Lucas Babin).

Adkins says ''Miss This,'' which made it all the way to number-one during its 20-weeks-and-counting stay on the Billboard Hot Country chart, ''lends itself to an acoustic performance," adding:

''I went and took a couple of guys with acoustic guitars and did an intimate little thing and it was fun. It was a good experience.''
