Country music icon Toby Keith passed away at 62 from stomach cancer on February 5, 2024.

Keith's anthem 'Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)' became a symbol of American sentiment post-9/11, though it sparked controversy.

Self-described as 'an extremely conservative Democrat', Keith maintained complex views on American politics and war.

The music industry and fans are mourning his death, with tributes highlighting his influence on country music and his charitable work with the USO.

Keith's passing was confirmed by his family via his official social media, leading to widespread expressions of condolence.

He leaves behind a wife, three children, and four grandchildren, with a legacy that extends beyond music to his contributions to national morale and service.
