Toby Keith's Family Tears Up During 2024 CMT Music Awards Tribute

Toby Keith's three children, Shelley, Krystal and Stelen, get emotional during the 2024 CMT Music Awards as the event honors the late singer with a tribute of performances. Brooks & Dunn, Sammy Hagar and Lainey Wilson all took the stage with renditions of the artist's famous hits. Toby's longtime friend, baseball star Roger Clemens, was also there to remember the country singer with a touching speech. The 2024 CMT Awards aired on CBS.

I miss that great, very hunky handsome unbelievable fun and natural songwriter.

[@glorygracek.1841]

The favorite song of his was the song he made after 9/11. "Courtesy of the red white and blue". I am a old school country fan, so this is one of the only songs I know of his......but as a kid who was only something like 6-7 at the time growing up with that song (though we don't use the a** word) it makes your patriotic blood stir!

[@JaxJeff]

Toby was rock, A pillar of strength. A leader. A good friend. Loyal. A great citizen to his country and community. A risk taker. Unapologetic. He embodied what so many aspire within themselves. One of the great Americans. Greatly loved and gone to soon. His family has our prayers and hearts.

[@cassie6349]

There is a cure but chemo makes them more money.

[@fullerindy]

Sickness makes more money then being healthy it's sad world

[@RDUB57]

They have cures for cancer, problem is it would put big powerful individuals out of business. Ask yourself, why is Jimmy Carter still alive? He’s had stage 4 brain cancer for how many years now, and has been in hospice for over a year. Tell me he’s not getting the “medicine” for the past 6-8 years to keep him alive. Everyone I know that has been diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer, has been gone in less than 6 months. I guess the government would also consider it population control, if you don’t think there is a cure then you are completely blind.

[@rkf2746]

Sadly, "they" well never let a cure happen. Doctors and big pharmaceutical companies would lose too much money. My sincere condolences for your mom.
