00:00 He's got the red, white, blue, brown hat on the farm.

00:03 Semper Fi tattooed on his left arm.

00:06 Spend a little more in the store for a tag.

00:08 In the back it says USA.

00:12 Toby Keith has died following his battle with cancer.

00:15 He was 62 years old.

00:17 A statement posted to Toby's website shared that he passed peacefully on February 5th,

00:27 surrounded by his family.

00:29 He fought his fight with grace and courage.

00:32 Please respect the privacy of his family at this time.

00:35 I was writing as a teenager and watching other people mesmerize people with songs they were writing.

00:41 And I would look and I would go, "I can do better than that. I've got to be better than that."

00:45 And at every level I knew I had to.

00:48 I may not be the best singer, I may not be the best writer, but I'm going to outwork him.

00:58 Toby's singing career kicked off in 1993

01:01 with the release of his debut single "Should Have Been a Cowboy."

01:04 Toby's career spanned decades as he continued to put out hit after hit,

01:22 including "Who's Your Daddy" in 2009.

01:25 Who's your daddy? Who's your baby?

01:28 Who's your buddy? Who's your friend?

01:32 And "Red Solo Cup" in 2011.

01:35 Red Solo Cup, I fill you up. Let's have a party.

01:42 I put an album out every year for 20 years.

01:45 I didn't have those three-year breaks.

01:47 And you pile those numbers up and you look at them and it creates 100 million spins

01:51 and in BMI people start going, "Holy cow, your catalog's a monster."

01:55 And it was just my dad instilled that work ethic in me.

01:59 End of the day, we're here today.

02:01 In 2022, Toby revealed he'd been privately battling stomach cancer for months

02:06 and he was taking time to breathe, recover and relax.

02:09 Fast forward to last June, Toby, an Oklahoma native,

02:12 told The Oklahoman he'd been undergoing chemotherapy and things were looking good.

02:17 During that time, his country music community sent love his way.

02:20 He really is just--he's such an icon.

02:22 Also just a hero of ours.

02:25 But just as a human being, you hate to hear that kind of news from anyone.

02:31 We're just sending love and support.

02:33 I know that it had to have been a hard decision to share the news,

02:37 and so we just want him to know that we're praying.

02:41 He's a legend and it's always tough to hear.

02:44 Obviously, if there would be anything that we could do, we would.

02:48 Country music is a family, and it feels like one of our family members is hurting.

02:53 So we are obviously here for anything and to offer our support and help in any way that we possibly can.

03:00 Toby is survived by his wife of 39 years, Tricia, and their three children.
