- News On 6's Robin Marsh sat down for an exclusive interview with country music superstar Toby Keith, where he opens up about his decades-long career and recent battle with cancer.
As someone who works in a cancer center it is so sad watching someone come in looking so healthy and seeing them slowly deteriorate right in front of your eyes. RIP Toby. We love you.
That is so true! My mom did in 1977, I was 5, she was 25. She passed away so fast I never got to see her again or suffer. She went in for exploratory surgery to try trans find out why she felt so bad all the time and never seen her again until her funeral a week later. The oxygen (air) made it grow and quickly. Her death destroyed me as a child but I didn’t have to see her suffer. The doctors did all the tests they had then and never thought about cancer back then from what I was told later in life, I feel so bad for the families watching their loved ones suffer, I can’t imagine their pain!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻God Bless Everyone who has to deal with cancer and God Bless their families!!! Rip Toby Keith🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
My brother passed of gastric cancer, he was diagnosed in Jan. 2009 and passed 6 months later. Lots of suffering
@@22addict40I’m so sorry to hear that. I see it everyday. I fall in love with my pts and then they’re gone. It’s the hardest yet most rewarding job in the world.
@@gloriaa.garcia3985I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you’re doing better every day.
Yeah Hospitals are disgusting when it comes to cancer treatments. All they care about is money. Especially when there are known ways to treat this naturally. Except you can't really charge the outrageous prices for things like a diet.
I think he knew. He was at peace. He gave us a few final concerts. So inspiring.
They definitely gave him some news that he understandably chose not to share.
I can't believe he passed away today! I'm so sad. RIP Toby Keith. You were a legend!
He did some suffering.. he's at peace now... He talked about his faith getting him thru his battle with cancer...
He actually passed yesterday:( we just found out today.
Legends never die
Crazy this video was posted just 2 weeks ago
Toby Keith wasn’t just a legend, he was an awesome human being, a wonderful husband, father, and a great Christian man. You can walk up to this man in public, and he would shake your hand and have a conversation with you. And what makes him an all American country music artist is, you can walk up to this man Toby Keith have a full conversation with him and he would never guess he was a multibillionaire. Toby Keith is a multibillionaire, but a true humbled man.
I too am battling cancer (bone cancer) Toby Keith is an inspiration and gives me hope. 🙏
I'm fighting colorectal cancer.. unless a person sits in that chemo chair you have no idea...I hope all goes well w you ..
I to appreciated Toby’s words. I had AML leukemia, months of chemo and a bone marrow transplant in 2004. My main oncologist (the best) told me my recovery depended a lot on my attitude and ask anybody speaking anything negative to leave. While the light at the end of the tunnel grew only to a flicker, I tried to stay hopeful. Sometimes during the ordeal, our precious HolySpirit whispered in my spirit to use that time with the Lord because when I recovered I wouldn’t have this special time, I’d be to busy. I’m praying for Toby and you others that are battling cancer or any other disease. We serve an awesome God. I praise Him.
@@debbieclayton5856 Been dealing with prostate cancer for almost 2 years. But you are exactly right. Millions of people get cancer every year, but it's not you...until it is! Prayers to everyone here!
Here's some hope. I have battled cancer tinge and tone again. I still have it. I'm in my sixties. Go with your instincts. Good gave you them Fri a reason. Do, or don't do any treatments that are offered. Be open to natural ways. Such as high acidity diet. Works for me.
Thank you 🙏
Whew tears today as he is singing with Jesus . Rest easy Toby you will be missed .
Jesus never existed.
God gave him peace, god gives me peace, he takes away our fears and lets us know we will never die.
Be kind and may the lord give you that faith that will give you eternal life ❤
@@AnnWenham How do you know that?
I was Active Duty Military, I grew up listening to this dear man , his songs were great, he helped so many Veterans ❤😢 rest in power dear Sir , you have given so much good to this world 🙏🙏
❤
Agree❤❤❤True American 😊❤❤❤
I never cried over a celebrity dying before. I’ve been crying all day.
I get it. You probably considered him a friend.
Praying for Toby and his family.
he can no longer suffer, he is now walking with god
As a cancer survivor, and a fan of his music, there are just no words to show my love for TK. Cancer didn’t win! The good Lord called him home for his greater purpose. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
You say that you should’ve been a cowboy? Sir, you were much more than that. ❤
Just watched this yesterday. He died 24 hrs later. RIP to a legend. Gone too soon
I've had cancer four times an Toby's right lean on God and don't let the old man I'm 73 God bless me
Watching this the morning Toby’s passing was announced. What a great talent, great man!
Same here. So glad he had faith in God. We're all passing thru. Life is short. Love on your wife and stay close to your friends..❤
God Bless you Toby Keith, may you be healed by God’s hands!!🥰🥰🙏🏻😘
Amen
Prayers for Toby just love you sweet guy ❤ my icon
Good too know your wife is the best nurse 😏
❤@@TobyKeith-musicgp1dt
@@TobyKeith-musicgp1dt Does that blue moon ever shine on you? makes me wonder how your feeling, want so much for you to recover, in my heart💞and prayers 💖
Toby is the true root of what country music is...❤❤
And the way he Went about doing it Made it even more special. He did it on his own terms.
Got that right, sadly!
I too am fighting cancer.. colorectal cancer.. 2 surgeries & a small 3 cm tumor in my left lung & hopefully maybe it's all gone..I too am in the place where my faith helps me face whatever comes..ppl that have never taken radiation or chemo have no idea.
May God bless you & strengthen you Toby & give you the strength to fight this..
Jesus LOVES YOU
Praying for Dear.
God bless you. I've had stage 4 (22 cm tumor) and stage 2 (3 cm tumor). I'm on chemo for life. After having 80% of my stomach and half my pancreas removed, God gives you a sense of peace. I know Toby Keith felt it. Stay positive. Never give up. God knows when your time is up as do you. Do not stop believing. One day at a time. Every day is a gift, a precious gift. Never forget that. I'm 10 years on from the first encounter. May God grant you another 30 years or more. Embrace your gift. Every day.
Prayers your way
Stay strong.✌️
Rest in peace!!! I just lost my brother to lung cancer on Jan 24th!!! You both are now resting in the sweet arms of Jesus!!! God bless you family! May He bless you with His sweet peace!!!
As a man of 59, i watched my Father whither away, he told me "Son, i am dying and it is okay"...not a tear ran down his face, he went to wherever that place is with dignity and being brave like Toby did....may i be as brave like my Dad and Toby one day.
Toby you will be so missed
What an inspiration! Sitting here crying.
Me, too a 72 year-old man.
RIP Toby. You’re an American Patriot. Loved our country, supported it decades after decades. You were simply an incredible man. Thank you for your never ending consistent love of people & your family . What an example you have left behind.
A true legend gone too soon. Praying for his family and friends. RIP Toby Keith 🙏
What a beautiful song. Rest in eternal peace to a True Patriot and an amazing person who contributed so much to Country Music. Thank you Toby Keith. My condolences to your family and friends. ❤🇺🇸
I experienced esophageal cancer beginning in 2013. I went thru the chemo, radiation and the surgery. Your words are exactly my words. My wife was the greatest nurse. Everything you said is true. It has been more than 10 years and I am still looking over my shoulder. I am still suffering the after effects of the ordeal but I’m hanging in there. I’m 71 years old and I’m not letting the old man in.
R.I.P. Toby, you kept your faith and that is what it's all about. That's one reason why God allows pain and suffering, to strengthen our faith in him.
You will the stupidFCK comment of the day award and your godLovesCock.
Who doesn't Love Mr Toby!!!! You go brother. God Bless you!
Such a strong man w/faith, I am so sorry he has this disease...its not fair! God Bless You Toby!
It's not FAIR? Tell THAT to your man invented daddy in the sky. Toby is alive now (temporarily like all of us) because of SCIENCE.
All religions are cults and life has absolutely NOTHING to do with what's fair or not. Maybe you JUDGE someone else more deserving of his cancer? Like me for instance, because in your world of judgemental hypocrisy and religious fascism I am a heathen and blasphemous. Pray on that.
R.I.P Toby Keith. May you walk and talk with Jesus now. Singing in Heaven now so happy you had Faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Amen!
I cried theough this whole thing😢
RIP "I'm not as great as I once was".....LEGENDARY Career
He is such a nice man he had my son on stage with him 2 times .y son was a navy sea cadet .
RIP TOBY YOU RAISED ME ON THE RADIO IN THE 1990'S
We’re going to always remember you Toby! A true American patriot and god fearing man! On to greener pastures!
The Lord still has another chapter for you, Toby! Keep Keepin On!🙏✝️
RIP Toby Keith🙏🏼 Always great music, and God Bless what he did for the troops
So sad but happy that he was leaning on his faith. He was one of the greatest in the country music industry and will be missed sooo much!
I’m so deeply sad that Toby Keith has passed away. I love his music. His voice was always so beautiful and powerful. Rest peacefully now ❤️
3:44 What ever gets you through the day. ive been faithless my whole life. at 29 i had to face my mortality. at 63 im still at peace with whether i live another 10 years or die tomorrow.
Have so enjoyed all his music during the years. Thank you, Toby Keith! 🤩
A true patriot and a true country star. He will be missed. His music will forever remain. So tragic.
Rest easy, my sweet Toby❤😢
Toby is a strong and amazing man and a very talented singer and song writer his music really touches the heart and soul of all his fans he is a true icon❤
@TobyKeith-musicgp1dt man you're disgusting catfishing a dying man
Another great country singer gone ,
Now he has angel wings ,
Thankyou Toby Kieth for being apart of my life ,
Love your music,
God bless 😇
I just don’t understand why so many people are getting such fast cancer and he was healthy and you know he also did get the big V💉 and I just wonder if there’s a connection and if anybody knows. Gosh, I loved his music and he was such a good guy. What a huge loss and what a beautiful man and soul and talent.
PLASTIC.
Robin, what a great interview, so caring and genuine. Toby Keith is resting in the arms of His Savior!
RIP Toby Keith 🎉 You were and will always be one hell of a good man. Thank you for the faith you shared with your fellow Americans. ❤❤
He's still very Wonderful in my eyes !! ❤❤

I was diagnosed with Colon cancer and Non hogkins Lymphoma almost 6 years ago now. I was 36 and after multiple surgeries and chemo I was doing better then a scan showed it had spread to my liver. They removed close to a third of my colon and a quarter of my liver. Not at the same time but then I had to go through chemo again for my liver. It's not really the cancer that gets you in my opinion and going through it. It's the toll on your body from the treatments and surgeries. You do come to a point though where you're at peace with what happens. You're not afraid to move on from this world anymore. No matter if you believe or not having Faith helps and I don't care what anyone says prayers do also. Now I'm a year into remission but if I get lucky and it doesn't come back again and get me the side effects of the "cure" will eventually. I was a big guy like Toby. I'm 6 foot 6 and was 250. I fell down to 128lbs fast before they found it. After it was all done I still can't eat or gain weight back. 140 is as much as I've weighed since I got diagnosed. Everyone that is just now getting diagnosed have hope. They're getting close to a actual cure and for those that have been fighting please don't give up. Enjoy everyday and tell your loved ones that you love them every chance you get. Rest in Peace Toby.
I wish you the best, sir. My mom said the same thing about chemo getting her before her cancer. 😢
@@returnofthemac2951 Thank you for the kind words. I'm not sure if your mother is still with us and I hope she is. If not Im sorry for your loss. Yes the treatments are so hard on your body. I never had heart problems until I went through all of this. It just destroys everything. You know you saw it first hand unfortunately. I will pray for your family.
@@chrisrose_krii_lun_aus Thank you. Unfortunately, my mom passed from her bladder cancer at 61 y/o a couple of years after her diagnosis. That was back in 2002. Like most everyone that I knew who was ever diagnosed with cancer, it always seems like two years is the life span after diagnosis. I just turned 61 y/o this past October, so it has made me think about it all over again. Anyway, you seem to have truly beaten it, and I am very happy to see that someone has done so. God bless you with a healthy life from this day forward. 🙏
@@returnofthemac2951 I'm sorry to hear that. Possibly I could have but I thought that once before also but so far nothing showed up on my last checkup so hopefully. If I could just start gaining some weight and eating again I think I could get back in shape but I stay malnutritious and I'm anemic now. I don't feel like doing anything and I still have to force myself to eat. I have no appetite for anything. I don't get cravings for anything. I could literally starve myself to death with a kitchen full of food. When they removed that much of my colon nothing stays with me long enough to absorb the nutrients I need. I can eat and a lot of the times the same day I use the bathroom and it's undigested food I had eaten earlier. Pretty much they straight piped me. I go and have iron and vitamin transfusions once a month and it helps but nothing does with my appetite. I had to stop eating most foods. I have a diet I've got written down of foods I can eat still that don't go straight through me. I have faith though that they'll find something to help. We've tried a lot of stuff and it might work for a little while with digesting the food but it always stops working after a few weeks so we try something else.
All the money in the world. Is nothing with out your health. I just had surgery in Nov to remove growth on lung 3months and still having hard time getting back. REST IN peace your music will play on
I said a prayer for you. Best wishes.
Love Toby Keith. F.. cancer.
A Legend...just like Clint. Lifting Prayers for both of us🙏🏻❤️✌️ #beatingcancer
He's the only performer that I can sit and watch over and over again and it never gets old.He was charming,funny,and personable all through his career-a very much loved performer and human being.
RIP Toby. Thank you for such beautiful music. Your truly a Legend.....
Omg, i had no idea. My prayers are with him 🙏❤
I know he was ill but I didn't imagine this.
Your music lives on...Fly High with the Angels, Toby❤
Sure puts our 1st world problems in perspective.
God Bless you Tob.
So sad to hear about his passing, Rest in Peace, Toby Legend 🕯️🕯️🙏✝️

Thank you for the great music Toby. RIP. You’re a class act.
And He just passed away an hour ago about 3 am here . This is so unreal he looked like he was doing ok 10 days ago and just like that He's gone. RIP Toby.
RIP, Toby. Prayers for you and your family.
💔Watching this brings a tear....he passed last night. Prayers for his family and friends 🙏 💪💪💪

So sad to lose another beautiful soul 💔 You will live on in us all through your music. It's never a goodbye,just a so long for now. Fly high Toby Keith! ❤️
Prayers for you always we love you ❤😊
Well see you again toby... I bet there's not a bad seat in the house of the Lord tonight. You touched so many lives and as a veteran I thank you so much for the patriotic songs my kids listen to them w me all the time. You are missed so very much already.
You'll never be forgotten for all you've given us. RIP Toby Keith.
How Do You Like Me Now was his response to Nashville, producers who said he didn't have what it takes after he released his first album, his ex-, and everyone else who said he sucked, although plenty of them jumped on his bandwagon when he rose up the charts. Toby is the epitome of the Underdog. I do wish I got to see him in concert before he died.
Much love and courage to his wife and children. Not every father leaves a legacy. As for I'm concerned, Toby Keith will always be a national treasure.
What a great guy. Words cant express the sadness i feel today. 💔
Rest in peace toby keith as you passed away yesterday
Love you, keity Toby
Oh my I just love Toby Keith so much! I am so thankful to God that he is in heaven, and that I will get to see him one day. God bless his family!❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
