Country music star Toby Keith has died following a battle with stomach cancer.
Keith, 62, passed away Monday night, according to a statement from his family.
“He fought his fight with grace and courage,” it read. “Please respect the privacy of his family at this time.”
Keith revealed in June 2022 that he had been diagnosed with stomach cancer.
The Oklahoma-based country music star was best known for his 1993 hit song, “Should've Been a Cowboy.” His breakout hit was played 3 million times on radio stations and became the most played country song of the 1990s.
Among his 20 No. 1 Billboard hits were “How Do You Like Me Now?!,” “As Good As I Once Was,” “My List” and “Beer for My Horses,” a duet with Willie Nelson.
His 2002 song, “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American),” showcased his patriotism following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
A prolific signer-songwriter until his death, Keith's recordings have sold over 40 million albums worldwide.
