Lainey Wilson, Brooks & Dunn and Sammy Hagar performed an emotional tribute to the late Toby Keith at the 2024 CMT Awards on Sunday, April 7
There wasn’t a dry eye in Austin’s Moody Center as Lainey Wilson and more country superstars paid tribute to the late Toby Keith two months after his death at the CMT Music Awards.
The retired athlete took the stage to introduce the tribute first. 'It's an honor to be here and celebrate Big Dog Daddy Toby Keith, a true friend, patriot and great American. Toby was in Houston, off and on for three years while he was battling that damn C-word. Through it all, he always kept his humor and his wit,' Clemens shared during the show.
'Toby and I, we spent a lot of time in Cabo together over the years,' the rocker, 76, said. 'We closed the Cabo Wabo down a lot more times than probably we even remember. Just put it like this, it's hard to get thrown out of your own bar, and we managed to do that.' Green added, 'That guy could come up with a hook like no other and sang the hell out of every song that he wrote somehow while making it look easy.'
He and many audience members raised red Solo cups in reference to Keith's 'Red Solo Cup' track. 'Everybody at home, raise your fist if you don't have a Solo cup,' he said. 'Repeat after me: whiskey for my men and beer for my horses.'“Toby Keith passed peacefully last night on February 5th, surrounded by his family. He fought his fight with grace and courage,” a statement shared via his social media accounts read on February 6.
He continued at the time, “I am looking forward to spending this time with my family. But I will see the fans sooner than later. I can’t wait.”
