Toby Keith Announces Heartbreaking News But Keeps Faith in a Comeback

Toby Keith, a singer-songwriter-actor who specialises in country music, said on Sunday that he has begun receiving treatment for stomach cancer. He received the illness’s diagnosis in the fall of 2021, according to his post.

The 60-year-old country legend revealed on social media that she was diagnosed with stomach cancer last October. “Over the past six months, I’ve undergone surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Good news thus far, I require some time to rest, heal, and breathe.

He was supposed to perform at the BBQ event on Friday, but the festival cancelled it because it is “currently seeking a replacement for Toby Keith to join Elle King on Friday, June 17,” according to the Ribfest website. In the future, instructions for refund claims will be accessible.

The performer continued, “I’m excited to spend this time with my family. But I’ll definitely run into the fans shortly. I am impatient.

Many of Keith’s fellow country musicians sent their prayers and best wishes.

Jason Aldean wrote, “Damn bro. I’m sorry you have to deal with that, but you are the one who can take Cancer down a peg. I’m praising you, big man.

“Praying for your body to fully heal!” RaeLynn tacked on.
