Toby Keith

Toby Keith’s Heartfelt Gesture at Merle Haggard’s Final Show It was Super Bowl weekend. Despite being very ill, Merle Haggard insisted on going through with the show. He needed the money to pay his band, so calling in sick simply wasn’t an option. Toby Keith happened to be in Vegas with his wife. When he found out that Merle was also there and in bad shape, he immediately went to visit. Merle was lying there — clearly he belonged in a hospital, not on a stage. But he didn’t want anyone’s sympathy. Merle simply turned to Toby and asked: “How many of my songs do you know?” No more words were needed. That night, Toby Keith stepped onto the stage
 and sang for him.

Still Swingin’, Still Smilin’ — Toby’s Timeless Comeback Song đŸ’„ It’s been over two decades since Toby Keith gave us “As Good As I Once Was,” and somehow, it hits even harder with time. With sharp wit and a nod to the aches that come with age, Toby reminds us that resilience isn’t about being perfect — it’s about showing up anyway.

 but I’m still damn proud of who I am.”
