Country music singer Toby Keith is opening up for the first time about his health. The fan favorite was told that she had stomach cancer in the fall of 2021. He has been getting treatment ever since.
On his social media profiles, Keith shared a message concerning his health. He said, “I’ve spent the last six months getting chemo, radiation, and surgery,” Thus far, so good. I need to take some time to breathe, recover, and rest.
Keith states that despite his struggles with his health, he will never forget his friends and supporters. “I’m looking forward to spending time with my family,” he remarked. ” But I’ll see the fans sooner rather than later. I can hardly wait. -T.”
What would happen to Keith’s scheduled performances in the upcoming months was unknown in light of this news. His next performance was scheduled for June 17 in Wheaton, Illinois, according to his website.
Following Keith’s announcement, the Ohio State Fair confirmed that his July 28 event in Columbus, Ohio, had been canceled. Keith’s spokeswoman, Elaine Schock, stated that specific tour dates may be canceled as well, “but I’m not sure how many at this point.”
His website also announced the release of the singer’s most recent record, “Peso in my Pocket,” released last year after a lengthy hiatus from touring owing to Covid pandemic limitations.
Keith claimed that the inspiration for the album’s songs came to him on the spur of the moment while he was out running.
“I’d look at the song ideas I had on my phone before I started running, and then I’d take off,” he explained. “My time would be up before I knew it, and I’d have constantly been working, grinding gears in my thoughts about the tunes. I’d arrive home, turn on my phone’s recorder, and record what I could.”
