Country music artist Toby Keith has disclosed that he has been battling stomach cancer since the latter part of last year. However, he has completed his treatment and plans to resume performing shortly. Keith used his official Instagram and Twitter accounts to announce his cancer diagnosis. He stated that in the fall of 2017, he received a diagnosis of stomach cancer.
In a post, he shared his thoughts about the fight against cancer he has been fighting for the last six months. He told his followers that he was undergoing radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgeries as part of his cancer treatment. He also stated in his message that he is currently relaxing, recuperating from his sickness, and spending time with his loved ones. His explanation took all of this into account. However, he will soon have the opportunity to speak with his followers.
Regarding Keith and his involvement in the music business
Born and bred in Oklahoma, Keith held positions in the oil sector and as a quarterback for USFL football teams before deciding to pursue a career in music. Published in 1993, Mercury’s debut album under his own name went on to become a commercial success, selling over a million copies.
Keith’s reputation is primarily shaped by his conservative political beliefs. One of his best-known songs, “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American),” was inspired in part by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and was released in 2002.
Keith’s songs have garnered a lot of attention and are considered among the best in the country music genre. The country tune “Old School” from his most recent CD, “Peso in My Pocket,” reached the top 25.
Keith was honored to be inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in November 2017. He performed recently at the Heroes Honor Festival at Daytona International Speedway.
It’s possible that the upcoming Keith show won’t proceed as expected.
Elaine Schock, Keith’s publicist, has announced that the singer would not be singing at any of his upcoming shows for some time due to his cancer diagnosis. His previous tour was supposed to begin this Friday. On June 17, Keith was supposed to kick out a tour in support of his recently released album, “Peso in My Pocket.” The tour was supposed to stop at additional locations. Despite the fact that the event was supposed to happen on July 28 at the Ohio State Fair, no formal announcement has been made on its status, including whether it will be canceled, postponed, or continued.
Keith has a background of helping young people who are facing cancer. The Toby Keith Foundation was founded in 2006 with the goal of assisting children who are affected by cancer, according to the organization’s website.
