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
Before opting to pursue a career in music, Keith, who was born and raised in Oklahoma, worked in the oil industry and as a quarterback for USFL football teams. Mercury’s first album under his own name was published in 1993 and went on to sell over a million copies and became a commercial success.
The primary element influencing Keith’s reputation is the conservatism of his political views. “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (The Angry American),” one of his most well-known songs, was released in 2002 and was partially influenced by the September 11 terrorist attacks.
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.
