Toby Keith could ‘barely sing’ and was ‘shaking’ in one of last ever performances – his wife couldn’t hold back her tears
Country music lost an icon with the passing of Toby Keith on February 5, 2024, after a battle with stomach cancer. Diagnosed in 2021, Keith bravely underwent chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Despite his efforts, he passed away at 62.
In June 2022, he shared his diagnosis with fans and took time off to focus on family. In September 2023, he delivered one of his final performances at the People’s Choice Country Awards, where his determination was evident.
Keith remained optimistic about his fight, with his tumor shrinking by a third by late 2023. Tributes poured in following his death, honoring his legacy. Rest in peace, Toby Keith.
