In an interview, Toby Keith said that despite his recent stomach cancer diagnosis, he aims to restore his power and fitness.
He said he was hopeful about the future and thought everything would work out well if everything went as planned. Even though he knows that his condition makes it hard for him to move around, he is working hard to improve.
He said he needed rest and recovery to get his health back on track. Keith announced his illness in June and postponed all events to ensure he received proper care.
He has made a few special appearances, including one in November at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse in Lexington, Kentucky, where he performed “I Love This Bar” and “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Earlier this week, he took to Instagram to post an image of a young cancer patient with his fans and urged them to donate to the @tkfoundation1 in support of the OK Kids Korral.
The program gives families with children who have cancer a place to go on vacation away from their complex treatments. On Sunday, country music singer Toby Keith said he has been dealing with stomach cancer for six months.
The 60-year-old musician remarked that he needs time to relax and recover with his family, but he is excited to see his fans again soon.
Elaine Schock, a Keith spokesperson, says he won’t be doing any shows or events shortly. Despite his health setback, Keith has a long list of accomplishments.
He was named Artist of the Year by the Academy of Country Music in 2002 and 2003, and he has been nominated for seven Grammy Awards over his career.
Keith has added the chart-topping hit “Old School” to his latest album, “Peso in My Pocket,” to his fantastic discography of country tunes.
He was elected to the prestigious Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame last year to honor his musical achievements. He just performed at the Heroes’ Honor Festival at Daytona International Speedway.
When Keith’s friends and fans worldwide heard about his sad condition, they sent their deepest condolences.
Half of the legendary country duo Big & Rich, John Rich, recently tweeted his condolences to Toby Keith. Keith’s career has been long and varied. He played football in the USFL, became a well-known musician, and worked in the oil industry.
Several celebrities, including Hannah Storm and Sammy Hagar, quickly responded with messages of support.
The Red Rocker shared a picture of himself with Keith on social media, along with well-wishes for Keith’s recovery from all redheads worldwide.
Keith Urban’s musical career began in 1993 with the publication of his Mercury debut album, which was an instant hit, earning platinum certification for sales of more than a million copies.
The 2002 single “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American)” solidified his subsequent fame. The song acquired popularity owing to its political content, written conservatively to express solidarity with those affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
