00:00But we begin with the death of country music singer and songwriter Toby Keith.

00:04He passed away overnight at just 62 years old.

00:06He died after battling stomach cancer and he leaves behind quite a legacy.

00:10Action News reporter Caroline Goggin is live at the 92.5 radio station in Ballot-Kinwood

00:15with reaction from the local country music community.

00:18Caroline.

00:20Well guys, we are joining you inside the studio this morning

00:22where they spent the entire morning paying tribute to country music icon Toby Keith.

00:26I can remember growing up in the 90s with my mom watching his country music videos on TV.

00:31He was a legend.

00:33He grew such a big following especially during the 90s when he was coming up

00:37and this morning his fans are mourning his death.

00:40There was a statement posted last night on his official X account

00:44saying that Keith passed away peacefully on Monday night.

00:47The statement says, quote, he fought his fight with grace and courage.

00:51In June of 2022, Keith was diagnosed with stomach cancer

00:53and was receiving chemo, radiation, and surgery.

00:57His country music career spanned several decades.

01:00Should Have Been a Cowboy was his breakout hit in 1993.

01:03It was played three million times on radio stations

01:06making it the most played country song of the 90s.

01:09He went on to release hits like, How Do You Like Me Now?,

01:11Beer for My Horses, As Good As I Once Was, and Red Solo Cup.

01:16Following the September 11th attacks, Keith released Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue.

01:20From then on, he became known not only as a performer but as a patriot.

01:25He went on 11 USO tours to visit and play for troops serving overseas.

01:29This morning, people across our area, they're paying tribute to Keith and his legacy,

01:33including Andy Summers, host of the Andy Summers Show on 92.5 XTU.

01:38We have a very rich history with Toby Keith here in the Delaware Valley, for sure.

01:43He had a loving relationship with XTU Nation,

01:46I think especially because we have three military bases so close.

01:50And Toby is such a supporter, was such a supporter of the U.S. military

01:55and everything that it stood for.

01:57All right, so the U.S.O. has posted on its website that since 2002,

02:04Toby Keith has provided more than 250,000 troops with a touch of home

02:09through performances in 17 countries.

02:11You can tell, guys, his legacy extends far beyond the music industry.

02:15Toby Keith was 62 years old.

02:18We are live inside the 92.5 XTU studios in Valley Kenwood.

02:21I'm Caroline Goggin, Channel 6 Action News.

02:23Back to you, Alicia.

02:24Oh, thank you, Caroline.

02:25So nice to see our area really celebrating his legacy today.
