An absolute legend of the genre.

So many hits and a party of a personality. His music videos are hysterical.

20 No. 1 singles, many of which he wrote himself. Impressive career, and he wasn't afraid to be patriotic or tongue-in-cheek.

Quote:
Toby Keith, a former rodeo hand, oil rigger and semipro football player who became a rowdy king of country music, singing patriotic anthems, wry drinking songs and propulsive odes to cowboy culture that collectively sold more than 40 million records, died Feb. 5 at 62.

His death was announced on his official website without listing further details. Mr. Keith announced in June 2022 that he had been diagnosed with stomach cancer, adding that he had received chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

A brawny singer-songwriter with piercing blue eyes and an Oklahoma twang, Mr. Keith cultivated a persona as "the big, bad outlaw who hides a big, soft heart," as music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine once put it. He could be ornery, cantankerous, self-deprecating and sensitive, recording mournful ballads about heartbreak and desire, as well as party songs about raising hell, drinking whiskey from a paper cup and getting high with his friend Willie Nelson.

Good article, didn't know a lot of this about him. Admittedly, I don't follow entertainment/music news.

They just did a long interview with him on the local news here in OKC 2 weeks ago and although he looked frail, it seemed like he was going make a come back from the stomach cancer and start returning to the stage.

This one hurts. Seemed like someone you would want as a friend and to hangout with.

Interesting tidbit. Daughter attends OU. All students got an official email this morning.

RIP

Had breakfast one table over from him and his crew on Camp Victory, Iraq in 2008. Always appreciated that he entertained the troops.

Always loved the story he told about getting Willie to sing on Beer for My Horses.



Rest easy, big guy

amazing how he looked really young just a few years ago on the sideline of an OU Sooner game being interviewed and in the last year with cancer looked like a completely different human being.

I saw him in concert in Virginia shortly after 9/11...

that was an insane concert!

RIP Toby. Prayers to you & your family.

Sucks losing him & Jimmy Buffett in such a short time span. Two Great American legends.

He did three concerts in December. I really thought he was turning the corner and going to make it.
