'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.

Tell me you don't know anything about biology and medicine without actually telling me you don't know about biology and medicine...
LOVE his music. Godspeed Toby!
“..Tell me you don’t know anything about biology and medicine...”
More than you might think.
And a whole lot more about how “money talks”....

If apples were found to cure cancer the response would be to outlaw apples. Yes, I am that cinical against most of big pharma.
Yep....Toby wrote wonderful music and his voice was distinct.
Yes, I’ve noticed that, too, over the years.
R.I.P., Toby Keith. You’re playing in Heaven’s band now.
I got to see him do a show with Ted Nugent at Victory Base in Iraq in 2004.
A co-worker of mine there loved driving past the building on Camp Cropper where Saddam was being held, blasting “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” on the speakers.
His American Ride Tour in 2010 with Trace Adkins was incredible.
Yes and I’ve always heard it’s uncomfortable
Shouldn’t be much even nastiest freeper can say about this guy
I dunno - we’ve got some real jewels here and the day isn’t over.
Change the “can be found”, to “used to be”. Brooks and Dunn, Toby and Charlie Daniels were stalwarts. B & D are in the twilight of their fame. Who else can you find?
John Rich is pretty vocal on the conservative side.
Our resident kook school of medical knowledge won’t like that comment at all. I see that they have already risen to the challenge...
“Shouldn’t be much even nastiest freeper can say about this guy”
Like when the denizens of Philadelphia booed Santa Claus.
The difference between “shouldn’t” and “won’t” being significant. My money is on freeper nastiness. Always a safe bet.
Very sad news... He seemed like an all-around good guy.
He supported the troops and rescue workers.
He also had a great sense of humor. I loved his music and videos in the early 2000’s.
RIP, Toby Keith. Condolences to his wife and family.
He was “good old boy”, that is as nasty as it can get for Toby. Whatever he did wrong in his life, let it be buried with him. I frankly loved him for his manner and messaging of his art.
Yes he is, but the music coming out of Nashville and the radio, doesn’t match C & W I like. Hootie, and I listen to an oldie station out of Kansas. Country lives as long as George Jones and Hank Jr, is played somewhere.
