Toby Keith Looking Solid After he Makes His First Public Appearance Since Cancer Diagnosis

In June, country music megastar Toby Keith publicly revealed he has been diagnosed with stomach cancer and was recovering. Earlier this month he was spotted out in public for the first time since the announcement.

Keith took the stage at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse in Lexington, Kentucky this past Friday. According to Cincinnati.com Keith joined him at one point and Keith said, “I’ve been knowing this guy for a long, long time, and I just told him back there, I just come from London and France for 14 days to get back to Breeders’ cup. I just ate the finest (expletive) meal I’ve had in 14 days. Jeff Ruby’s has the baddest a– steak in the freaking planet, y’all.”

Keith shared, “Last fall I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. I’ve spent the last 6 months receiving chemo, radiation and surgery. So far, so good. I need time to breathe, recover and relax.”

“I am looking forward to spending this time with my family. But I will see the fans sooner than later. I can’t wait.”
