On June 12, country legend Toby Keith announced that he was diagnosed with stomach cancer last fall. He revealed that for he has been receiving “chemo, radiation and surgery” for the last six months.
Keith also wrote, “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.”

While he did say he’d see the fans sooner rather than later, he didn’t specify what that actually means. But one day after he revealed his diagnosis, we now do.
He has cancelled all of his upcoming performances including his Friday, June 17th performance at Naperville’s Ribfest and his July 28th show at the Ohio State Fair.
Other cancelled performances include the Prior Lake Festival on July 9, the York State Fair on July 29th, and the Wisconsin State Fair on Aug. 4. Additionally, the “tour” section on his website, which once had several performances lined up for the year, is now blank.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Toby as he navigates this.
