Family Of Toby Keith Issues Heartfelt Thanks To Artists Involved in ‘American Icon’ Tribute [Video]

Last month, country music’s biggest and brightest names gathered under one roof to give Toby Keith a proper send-off. Everyone from Lainey Wilson to Trace Adkins came to Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena to honor the country star during the two-hour NBC special Toby Keith: American Icon. It was a fitting farewell for Keith, who died in February at age 62 after battling stomach cancer for more than two years. Recently, the “Red Solo Cup” singer’s family took to social media to express their gratitude for all involved.

“We could not have asked for a more special night of great country music and stories,” the post read. “We will forever be grateful for your time and commitment to honoring Toby.”
