Keith played three sold-out shows at the end of 2023. He had shared in interviews he was feeling optimistic about his treatments and was happy to be playing concerts to his fans, so this news of his passing comes as a bit of a surprise to those who have been following his journey.
Keith was a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump and played at Trump’s inauguration in 2017.
