Toby Keith delighted fans at the People’s Choice Country Awards. Country music legend Toby Keith delighted fans at the People’s Choice Country Awards with a tear-jerking performance amid his years-long battle with stomach cancer that kept him away from the spotlight. Before Keith hit the stage at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville Thursday night, the country legend gave an update on his health and the battle he compared to a “roller coaster.” “I feel pretty good,” Keith, 62, told E! News. “It’s a little bit of a roller coaster. You get good days and, you know, you’re up and down, up and down. It’s always zero to 60 and 60 to zero but I feel good today.”
