'Toby Keith passed peacefully last night on February 5th, surrounded by his family. He fought his fight with grace and courage. Please respect the privacy of his family at this time,' a message posted on his social media platforms read.
The singer is survived by his wife, Tricia Lucas, and their three children, daughters Shelley Covel Rowland, fellow singer Krystal Keith and son, Stelen. He also had four grandchildren. During his illustrious career, Keith sold over 40 million records.
Earlier this month, the singer opened up about his stomach cancer battle in an interview with 9News. The Should've Been a Cowboy singer was first diagnosed in 2021. Keith was born Toby Keith Covel in Clinton, Oklahoma, in 1961.
'I was going through all the chemo, radiation, surgery, and I got to the point where I was comfortable with whatever happened. I had my brain wrapped around it, and I was in a good spot either way,' Keith said.

That’s too bad I thought he had recovered somewhat rip
Rest In Peace, Toby.
His last performance he gave while going thru treatment.... laughing saying to his audience “I bet you never thought you’d see me weraing skinny jeans”....
Not a C&W listener, but I do know and like this one.

Yes....And ‘Compliments of the Red White and Blue” was another hit after 9/11... to support our soldiers going to war.
That was a GREAT one!
That song won every soldiers heart...and the heart of this nation.
Really down about Toby’s passing. RIP…….
I like the first pic. She is holding an Yves Saint Laurent bag, and he a Red Solo Cup…
RIP
fantastic song.
He was so very thin I hardly recognized him at the OU games
Wow. Talk about a shock waking up to this news. My oldest son really loves his music, and quite frankly. I do too.
Rest in peace, Toby.
Too bad I just discovered his music.
This is the one I first heard him sing; my favorite, as well.
He was a patriot and a family guy. Married 40 years with children. He loved this country. The left hated him, so that makes him a great man in my opinion. God rest his soul...
