Brooks & Dunn, Sammy Hagar & Lainey Wilson Lead Toby Keith Tribute at 2024 CMT Awards

Country music lost a legend on Feb. 5 with the passing of Toby Keith at 62. With 20 No. 1 hits, Keith was known for his uncompromising style and controversial takes, leaving a lasting impact on the genre. At the 2024 CMT Music Awards, held at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, Keith was honored in a heartfelt tribute.
Led by Brooks & Dunn, Sammy Hagar, and Lainey Wilson, the tribute featured Keith’s longtime backing band and was introduced by baseball legend Roger Clemens. Brooks & Dunn kicked off with “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” followed by Hagar’s energetic rendition of “I Love This Bar.” Wilson closed the tribute with “How Do You Like Me Now?!” as Keith’s family watched.
The emotional tribute ended with Clemens leading a Red Solo Cup cheers in honor of Keith, celebrating the legacy of a true country music pioneer. #TobyKeith #CMTMusicAwards #CountryMusic #BrooksAndDunn #SammyHagar #LaineyWilson
