It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Toby Keith. He has forever left a mark on Country Music. Our sincere condolences go out to his loved ones during this difficult time.
We loved the times @tobykeith played this stage, including most recently when he visited the Opry House to accept the first-ever People’s Choice Icon Award.
Toby’s music will live on forever, and we’re remembering alongside his many friends and his family. Thank you, Toby.
