Toby Keith, who had been battling stomach cancer since 2022, passed away last night around 2 A.M (CT) in Oklahoma, where he had lived his entire life. An announcement made on his official website said that he passed ‘peacefully’ surrounded by his family and added that he “fought with grace and courage.” He was 62 years old.
Country music stars Zach Bryan, Randy Houser and more have flocked to social media to pay tribute to the “Should Have Been A Cowboy,” singer. Fellow Oklahoma native, Carrie Underwood stated “Saddle up the horses, Jesus, ’cause a true blue COWBOY just made his ride up to heaven. Introduce him to all the Okies and sign that boy up for the choir!”
He will be greatly missed!
