It breaks my heart to hear about the passing of Toby Keith… I’ve known Toby since I was a kid. He used to run around in the same circle as my dad. When I signed my first record deal in 2012, Toby was the very first person to take me on tour… I watched his show every single… pic.twitter.com/up6BqGe8MH

Toby Keith was a loyal, faithful and good friend of mine. He stood with his people and his people stood by him. He was controversial at times, hard headed sometimes but always thoughtful and vulnerable. I ALWAYS believed in him. I will always miss him. RIP Big Dawg Daddy pic.twitter.com/vSs2EpQuNx

Toby Keith was a force to be reckoned with. 32 #1 hits, 30 years in the music business, a proficient songwriter, an unforgettable voice, and a staunch supporter of the US military. Not many people know what it takes to have a 30 year career, but you have to be incredibly tough. pic.twitter.com/pPJcmvp00h
