Toby Keith announced he’s being treated for stomach cancer. On June 12, Keith tweeted, “Last fall I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. I’ve spent the last 6 months receiving chemo, radiation and surgery. So far, so good. I need time to breathe, recover, and relax. I am looking forward to spending this time with my family. But I will see the fans sooner than later. I can’t wait.” The “Red Solo Cup” singer signed his tweeted “T.”
The country singer’s fans responded to the announcement with overwhelming support. One of Keith’s fans tweeted, “So sorry to hear this Toby but you will have a legion of Sooner fans lifting you and your family up in prayer.” Another fan wrote, “Saw you back on February 10 in San Antonio and I must say, I never would’ve thought anything was going on. You were absolutely amazing and charismatic as ever. My father was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer, so I know the fears & struggles.” One of Keith’s fans called back lyrics of the song “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue,” tweeting: “Put a boot in cancer’s a**! Prayers to ya, TK.”
