The night of this performance I told my wife he’s telling us all goodbye. Your pain is over now, your music will echo eternally. Godspeed brother.
Amen he will be sorely missed... ive been in a sorrowful mood today hearing toby passed.
He wrote this for his good friend Clint Eastwood.
It was used at the end of Clint's movie The Mule.
The song was for the movie n the song never got the ratings as should of like he said in January ( last month) now it definitely needs the ratings but u can’t share this to any social medias! I’m assuming family wants to be left alone we must respect ✊ that! U can share the movie clip though;). Fly with 😇 Toby !
Felt the same way. His struggle is over now..RIP
That hit me with chills what you said
I have never cried for a grown man that was a complete stranger to me…until today.
Same here my friend ,what a bummer cancer sucks and my wife died from it 2 christmas,s ago.Hang in there my friend and celebrate life.
I feel this I lost a uncle from cancer my grandma's still figjting cancer and toby Keith had one of my fav songs of all time being beer for my horses 😭😭😭
You certainly aren't alone. His music had an impact on the man I try to be, & his songs are tied to so many of my memories as a younger man.
@@Rhinexing im only 22 I remember his best song for me being beer for my horses with Willie Nelson and I also love his shouldve been a cowboy and i wanna talk about me and red solo cup the fact we lost him so young under the age of 70 hits me the hardest the world's unfair 😭
@@Rhinexing honestly, not only are we sad because one of the greatest country singers ever just passed away but also because he took our youth with him. A big part of my twenties through to my mid thirties was hanging out having fun and listening to Toby Keith. Not only will I miss him and his music but the history that went with him.
He passed away today, what a great and wonderful human, what a loss for us. This song brings me to tears. May his family be comforted.
Heartbreaking. May he rest in peace. Much love to his family.
He passed away last night not today. But terribly sad I grew up listening to him.
Who?
Not
Prayers🙏
Am I the only man crying every time I listen to this
You must be a wonderful person there is no shame a man crying it tells me you very strong and caring
Nope, you are not alone.
Right there with you Brother!
Not at all, whenever I need a good cry or an remember my dad I listen to this.
How many are sitting here crying, knowing that this tough SOB gave it his all to give us one more show. He was just a few months older than me. This hits hard. We hoped he was okay but he knew otherwise.
Just a few months older then me
Sobbing like a baby right now. I’m only 40, but I’ve played many a Toby Keith song on my stereo over the years. RIP Toby, you touched a lot of lives your short time on earth.
Me and my brother sobbing on each other were 23-25 and grew up on him and really felt like we lost someone today
I have been crying all day 😢
I thought Toby was one of the strongest men I have ever seen 🙏 I hate what that c word can do to some, and he fought it all the way...I have lost a couple of beautiful friends way too soon
Always loved his music 🎶 🎸
My heart goes out to his family and many fan's...This one's gonna hurt, it just has not sunk in yet 😢 🙏
Toby, you have touched so many lives,you made us laugh and love through your songs,now it's time to cry .RIP.
Yall see him shaking?
He fought hell itself to sing that song. And he nailed it.
100%Agree. God bless Toby Keith❤❤❤
Medication side effects or nerves..or both.
@@johndyck1883 That isn’t a factor. Toby has played for millions. This would have been chicken feed for him.
You need to this rest now❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Toby passed on my military retirement weekend. His music got me thru my deployment to iraq. His support to the military is greatly appreciated i will miss this man severly RIP salute brother🫡🥹
Thank you for your service Sir 🇺🇸
Hopefully they give him full military honors. #21GunSalute
God bless you, and thank you!
Was just telling my wife that
Thanks for your service. Toby Keith's love for his country will be what I remember most about him.
Who is here with me in 9/2024 listening to the best that we got to listen too?
There will never be a day when this won't be my favorite song
Me! Come here whenever I need a good cry
I'm right here with you!! Sure do miss him
He knew it was coming. Chills
GENIUS
Toby wrote “Don’t Let the Old Man In” in 2018 as a birthday present for Clint Eastwood, who was going to begin shooting his next movie, “The Mule” on his 88th birthday. Clint liked the song so much that he put it in the movie. Watching Toby perform the song in light of his ailment adds another meaning to it, and he sure didn’t let the old man in that night. May God bless him and his family.
Yes he sure Did
So moving. Love Toby. God Bless him. I've seen him twice in concert & his recognition of the Veteran's is so beautiful.
Saw Toby before he was a country star. He put on a great show. I am a forever Fan. Wishing him the best.
@@lorraine7039 Me too
Thanks for this info 👍
Watching this after his passing, its like he knew it was coming with these lyrics. Rest in Peace Toby.
Most see it coming
He hard terminal cancer. He knew it was coming.
Obviously he saw it coming, he had terminal cancer. This is such an idiotic comment.
I feel for his wife
@@Bystronicman08 This song is for everyone and Toby sang it the way it was meant to be sang , coming straight from his heart . Take notice whatever age you are , especially the boomers out there who can relate more to this song . Don't let the old man in , live for today and as Tim McGraw said, "Live Like You Were Dying, which was played at my best friends funeral .
Not many people get to sing a goodbye song at the end of their life but Mr. Toby Keith did it in a beautiful tear jerker way , you will always be missed Big Dawg !!!!
Agree100%😭😭
I’m literally crying and laughing I mean who gets to do that??? Your absolutely right I WAS SAD while listening knowing… what was coming later for him but then …..JUST WOW MAN…. Wow what a life… RIP TOBY KEITH
His wife also knew this was goodbye. Her tears told me that. She knew he had stopped chemo and that shortened his time. Fly high!
And without jerking a tear!👏👏👏BRAVO!!!...RIP
It makes me cry every time 😥
His wifes tears said it all. They both knew he had a short time. Thank you Toby ❤😢
At 78, I’ve been battling cancer for 9+ years and this song has special meaning to me. At times it’s very hard, but I tell my friends “I’m not old, just well into my wisdom years”!
God bless ya man , hang in there
@Psgiles, God is ur strength ❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏many more good man
God Bless you. ❤🤗🙏
Keep fighting the good fight ❤
So glad he got to perform one last time. Rest in peace, legend.
His last performance was in Vegas
It takes the biggest balls to sing this so beautifully knowing what was coming.. Rest in peace to an absolute LEGEND, Toby Keith 🙏💙
Facts
💯
He was not fearful because of his faith in the Lord.
I think he was at peace of what was coming.
We in Texas, LOVE YOU TOBY KEITH RIP 😇🙏🏻🌟🫶🏻❤️🤍💙🕊️🙏🏻✝️❤️🤍💙🙏🏻🌟💫
we all knew this was the last of toby keith...what a ride it has been
As a disabled veteran I truly Loved this man for all he did for us. He is a hero to all who served and all we lost.❤️🙏🙏
Thank you for you service. ❤️🇺🇸✝️
Thank you so much for your service, sir.❤️🇺🇸
Thank you for ur service. God bless u and ur family.
From one veteran to another...thank you for your service!
@radgirl333 thank you for your service, too.❤️🇺🇸
4 months and 6 days remained for him when he sang this at the awards...a powerful message to live. RIP
Very true . Live life to fullest . The world needs show Kindness like Toby
Well said... well said..
The Lord Jesus Christ is the answer! Stop running from him. He is truly what you need and what you're looking for. Nothing of this world will fully satisfy you. Read the KJV Holy Bible - start with John and Romans! God bless you.
The Holy Bible says you are a sinner headed for eternal, burning Hell. You will perish unless you repent to God and place your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus shed his blood on the cross, died (and in doing so he paid for all your sins, reconciling you to God), and he rose from the dead on the 3rd day. Place your trust for salvation solely in Jesus Christ (who is God in the flesh) today and be saved!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” - John 3:16 KJV
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus… Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” - Romans 3:23-26, 28 KJV
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” - John 14:6 KJV
yes, it his farewell to us, he knew !!!!! r.i.p. tobe
a powerful message to live for Christ because He is the resurrection and the life, this short life will end without warning for all of us
He didn't die. He just went home. ❤
Amen to home 🙏!..,. More Blessings to his beautiful wife & children who was by his side 🙏!…, everyday I watch this still, forever in your fans hearts ❤️ Toby
Amen 🙏 Toby is a Singing Angel now
Exactly - and Toby knew he was going home.
Beautifully put
Toby just changed dimensions and he is very much alive in heaven and when we get there if we're fortunate enough to get there we shall see him again
I’ve gone thru life with a Dad who never let down a single time. He’s fighting for his life now. God bless the great dads out there.
Best wishes to your dad.
Sounds like you have a wonderful dad, wishing him all the best. God Bless you both.
to the end he still had that voice. rest in peace sir.
Yes he did
just got the news. RIP to a country music legend. i’d be lying if i said i haven’t shed a tear or two
I’ve shed a few 😢
Me too😢
Same
Ditto. Seeing the news this morning took my breath away. There was something very special about him.
Me too😢
I am 81 years old, watching him sing this song, I had tears running down my face, Praying for you Toby Keith
53 here and I did too and still did after the 3rd time I watched it.
@@gregsmith983 Hi 🌹, it seems you are a top fan … and I am giving out 20 minutes of my time as a gift to all my fans … how happy will that make you ?
me too brother!!
Just do it! Dont let The old Man in...
This is one of my all time favorites! Praying for you Toby Keith 🙏🏻❤️😢
I am saddened by this. He had tears in his eyes. He was quite emotional. My husband listened often to this song. Like Toby, he had stomach cancer. It was in Stage 4. Toby passed this year as well as my husband. I played this at my husband's memorial service. It hit me different when he passed. I saw why my husband loved this song. It resonated with my soul.
My condolences to you and your family.
So sorry for your loss.
My deepest condolences to you, and your family 😢
You never let the old man in, Toby. Rest well, brother. You were loved and you will be missed.
My thoughts exactly
Hello Jennifer, how are you doing today I hope you are having a wonderful day
Even though his body was clearly weak,his voice was still clear and strong;Rest In Peace,Brother Toby.
Yes, his voice was still strong and beautiful.
Three days since he passed and I cried about a total stranger. He just never felt like a stranger to me. RIP TK.
Because he wasn't a complete stranger and that's why it hurts like hell to know he was taken from us😢
Amen.❤
He was not a stranger. We all listened to songs he sang to get us through the good times and bad.
Same here, so many of us feeling connected to TK for taking a stand. He never caved to the media or public opinion. I loved his voice.
I'm still crying...a week later
My brother passed away 6/29/24. We watched this performance together. Brought tears to our eyes. My brother passed away at 58 from the same cancer. It’s been a struggle . Have good days and bad days. We miss him so much. He loved Toby too!!! My brother found out 10/23/23 about his esophageal/ gastric cancer. He fought a heard fight for 8 months. 190 pounds down to 89 . He fought the fight to the end. My heart goes out to Toby’s family. Pray God gives them peace that passeth all understanding. Praise God we miss them , but they suffer no more. Love and blessings. 🙏🏻✝️❤️🌹Amy Treadway
My brother died with the same as yours 03/23. He died 2 years after diagnosis. 2 years of hell, pain and anguish.
God bless your brother and you all!
So sorry for your loss.❤
❤ sending you a big warm strong hug
My father died of cancer. I visited him every day Amy in his last 90 days. The saddest day was I entered his room one day and he was dressing to go to work he said. The nurse came in and shook her head no. So I had to lay him back down in that bed. I never forgot holding him. Your brother you will never forget. I have something for you though. Trust me I never believed in this stuff. One day or on many you will be doing something and even watching something here on YT and trust me, you will say good Lord Almighty he is speaking to me. Its not a coincidence. I now believe those who past send you messages.
“Just ask yourself how old you’d be if you didn’t know the day you were born” I was born in the summer of ‘97. Hearing the news that Toby passed brought back memories and made me recall the feeling that I felt when I was a 6 yr old little girl at home missing her dad who was serving active duty overseas. A lot of days were tough on our family because we couldn’t hold communication with my dad. Postcards here and there were a blessing. One day mom got a call from Dad and he was proud to tell her that Toby Keith was out there giving the troops a performance. Toby, I thank you so much for going out of your way to be a great American. For giving men like my father a reason to make a happy phone call home during the worst of times. But ultimately, for teaching us to be proud and unapologetic patriots of America 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙 RIP
We definitely lost a good one today. A great singer and a true patriot! 🇺🇸 Like Tracy Lawrence sang "If the Good die young..."
RIP TOBY 💔
@@yt_energy Get out of here with your hate.
What a patriot he was 🇺🇸
@@yt_energywhy t f are u so hateful? Why bother saying anything at all? People are entitled to support and like what they want in this country and that's what Toby Keith stood for. So get over yourself
❤🇺🇲
Anyone else get emotional watching this last night? 🥺💔
So very sad
I cried
I cried
Yes 😢
If you're a TK fan, how could you not.
This song hits different, now that he passed. His wife wiping tears, makes me think, they knew every day was a gift.
He had the biggest heart and is truly missed by people who didn't even know him personally. Prayers to his family who lost a great, wonderful man.
I came to hospital last night with heart pulse 27, I'm 57, I'm laying in ICU not knowing if I'll leave this place, I have a son at home I don't want to leave. This is a reality check for me, it makes me really see how life is. I've had a good life, God has been good to me, I can't say I have, but can't say I lived a boring one. I jus wanna go get on my Harley and take one more long ride before I go. I pray God let's me. No matter what, Don't let life pass you by. When you lay where I'm laying right now, make sure you have many good memories so you don't feel you cheated yourself. Tell your family you love them. God is great.
Be well in Jesus name..God Bless.🙏
How are you doing now
Bless u! Get well soon! Prayn for u!🙏🏻
Praying you get Well. Hang in there!! Let us know how your doing. ✝☮🙏
From a Stranger to a Stranger, Be sure to come back here and let us all know you got to go on your Harley. Or at least let us know that you’re doing ok, Please, you can’t leave us Hanging Here, ❤️🩹
Anyone else turning up their radio whenever a Toby Keith song comes on?
OH YES
I do
Full blast
Every time
Every time!!
He was able to say goodbye. It was on his terms. He wasn’t ready but he had to. Heartbreaking
Coming up to a one year anniversary that he passed away. February 5, 2024, my wife and I were in Portugal for the winter and learned of his passing. We played his music all night long and drank wine toasting the sunset. Miss Toby Keith!
My daughter and I loved him so much, she went to heaven on Feb 5, 2011, and now he left us the same day, I know she was there to meet him , so sad today 😢😢
Omggg how sad. I'm so sorry love. 😢 Me and my mom listened to him all the time. She's been gone 2 years and Feb 5th is her bday an the day he passed. He was a great one😢❤
❤💔🙏🏻
🕯️🙏🤍🌹🕊️💫
love from strangers is a great great love.
I'm so sorry. God bless.
RIP Toby Keith. As a former US army soldier I appreciate everything you have ever done for us, and so lucky I got a chance to see you live in 2007. As a human being, thank you for years and years of amazing music, I am literally crying as I'm writing this. RIP we love you!
Thank you for your service
@@madaketmom thank you!
Thank you for your service! He was so committed and proud of our troops! So very supportive of our troops in a country that hasn’t unfortunately always been. He will be so missed!😢
Thank you for your service and your family’s sacrifices they have made over the years.
Thank you for your service!
My husband died 6 years ago on the 18th. He loved Toby Keith's music. God Bless all who are in rhe arms of the Lord.
I told my husband the same thing.
My dad was a reservist veteran and has been gone 11 years on the 18th as well.
How do u get to heaven?
@@Titus2_13 through the Grace of God, brother. Not from any works we do. We believe in Him, confess our sins, and repent of them. But the only real answer is we put all of our hope and faith in Him.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
“My body is weathered and worn.” When he sang those lyrics I believe we all knew this was his way of telling us that he’s tired and he can’t fight any longer and he was saying goodbye to us.
Seeing him perform last September 2023 brought tears to my eyes, especially after the recent loss of my son. Although he was tired and worn from his battle with cancer, his voice was as smooth as butter. You leave a lasting legacy Toby Keith, and your spirit will live on in the hearts of your family and everyone that ever heard one of your songs. I know you're singing with the angels and entertaining in heaven. RIP brother ❤
Sending you healing thoughts & prayers! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
God's love and Blessings to you.
The Lord bless you dear Wendy. That's a tough one. He is able to bring back the joy, just give it time.
I liked and loved many of his songs. He was a true American all about red white and blue. For sure he loved our soldiers. I will always think of his song How do you like me now. Tells it like it is. I saw him once or twice and loved it. RipTK!!
I believe God loves a good song, now he has another great songwriter sitting their beside him....God bless you Toby....RIP....
I can't believe he was able to sing this song, knowing what was to come. RIP Toby! You are a true American.💔❤❤❤
He was right with God and when you’re right with God, you don’t have anything to fear
@@robinmckay7086 So true!❤❤❤
Faith ❤ my friend
@@samd.325 ❤❤
He said he was not afraid after ending his chemotherapy. He has a strong relationship with the Lord who rode shotgun with him for a while. RIP Toby - you will be missed, but we will have you forever in your music and talent you left us with.
My husband and I had the honor to see his very last concert in Las Vegas on December 14, 2023. I’m so grateful and thankful we could go see him. ❤️ He was such a genuine man and very humble. We learned that night him and Clint Eastwood are very good friends. May Toby rest in Paradise.
Oh that’s so special! What an honour and unforgettable moment for you two. Lucky.
Clint was his inspiration for writing the song. They met in Palm Springs right before Clint was to turn 88. He asked Clint what he was going to do to celebrate? Clint said he was going to be off making a movie for a few months. Toby was shocked & asked him what keeps him going? Clint's response, "I get up every day & I don't let the old man in". Toby knew he had a song in that line. Then put together the song for Clint's movie, "The Mule". He said it was one of the best times of his life writing this song.
What a tough guy still performing in december great man I’m in tears
I was there also, I loved everything about Toby. He will be truly missed but never forgotten.
@@coldwinter5710sorry small correction. He wrote the song for Clint. Birthday gift I suspect. But it was Clint who said I'm going to use this in my movie & Toby was honored.
Anyone listening to this with me in 2025
Beautiful song
Of course 😊
Here
Many are my friend
Yes! Tears at my heart strings every time. 😢
Everything this man is dealing with his voice still sounded as great as ever.
His last performance.
His kiss up to God thanking him and letting him know he was ready.
This song will always be remembered as Toby Keith's goodbye song to his fans.
R.I.P. Toby, until we meet again in God's house. My prayers go out to his wife, children & loved ones. He will greatly be missed.
You Know it.
He is a Legend
Absolutely remarkable and distinguished voice❤️❤️🥲
This is so true 😂❤
Oh my word he was saying goodbye. It was so painful to see what this terrible disease and treatment had done to him That was the first time that I realized that I am too fighting a deadly foe
I am fighting Bile duct cancer. In treatment since May 2022. Currently I am in remission. The survival rate is 24%. Thank you Toby Keith for all you have done for this Country and the military. And thank you for waking me up from the denial I have been in. May you rest in peace Toby Keith and may your family and friends find comfort knowing that you are free from pain.
Anyone who played 11 USO tours for our troops was a truly good dude. RIP, brother.
Drank himself to death. Stomach cancer was caused from alcohol.
My husband passed in June last year. I played this song for him many times as he grew weaker. I will miss Toby Keith, but I picture him in heaven with many other talented men and women, gathered together and performing in heaven. Rest in peace Toby Keith. You will not be forgotten.
So sorry that you had to deal with the loss of your husband. Hopefully you are able to remember all the good times you had with him.
RIP Toby...we have lost a great singer and a true patriot 🇺🇸💔
😥
😢😢😢
My Dad passed away this past November. I am sure they are singing together.
@@JeremySmith1980 First thing I thought when I heard the news… my dad will be lining up to welcome him home and play some jam sessions together. He and I loved Toby, saw him twice in concert and got to meet him once. God bless him.
Yes, the waitress that took care of Toby at Steak n Shake for 14 yrs, Miss Martha is listening and sobbing so loudly I can barely hear him sing. I listen to How Do You Like Me Now " every day. It's the last song he read to me before I hugged him tightly and he headed home to his family. OMG I miss him every minute of every day!! Thank you for asking.
Toby passed just hours ago now . Watching this performance just now? The part where he sang u gotta love on ur wife, as she trys to block the tears trying to roll down her face. That was heart wrenching,To watch. May gods breath be to his back. An may his wife have only one set of foot prints in the sand as she walks beside christ because hes carrying her ,to the day of till forever ends when no more tears will b there as they are together again. This life here is nothing more than a gift of a short trail, to a long path called eternity . To anyone taking the time to read this , may gods breath be to ur back as well. God bless ,RIP Toby Keith . Ty from a fellow oklahoman here for the years of songs u sang .
❤
GOD BLESS YOU ASWELL
FROM A HUGE FAN IN AUSTRALIA
God bless you too
AMEN ❤️🕊️🕊️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️♾️✌🏻
Beautifully said!!!
As a cancer survivor, that performance undoubtedly took a superhuman amount of courage and strength. Praying for you Toby…🙏🏻
Survived colon cancer with a bowel resection. Lost 10" of colon but here I still am 23 years later.
@@mortimersnerd5172. So glad for you. No, sissies don’t get cancer. Fortunately there are many survivors to give us all hope. Sometimes cancer knocks more than one time. There are some tough folks in this world that won’t forfeit a win. Congratulations for finding a way forward.
100%Agree God bless Toby❤❤❤
God bless you
🙏✝️
Toby’s old man came in last night, and his songs will live forever. What a talent, a patriot, an honest and in your face, unapologetic, icon. RIP.
That little lean back at 1:53 was such a beautiful thing to see. As a simplistic performer he was cream of the crop. That little lean showing us the passion that never faded for making sure he was on point playing his guitar and coming back to the mic to dig in to the rest of the song. Amazing
Crying like a baby. Sad news to wake up to this morning. Rest in Peace Toby. You touched so many lives with your songs. Our heartfelt condolences to his wife and family. Another legend has joined God's Heavenly choir.😢
I told my husband not to tell me anything he calls at 7:56 in the morning to tell me. Every year on the 4th of July I play all his music this year will not be different❤ may he rest in heaven and know he is and was truly loved.
Here too. 😢
I feel like in this moment, based on how he is singing the song, he knew his days were numbered. One of the best to ever do it. Rip my man. You wont be forgotten❤
His swan song. Toby, you never let the old man in. You left before he arrived. Forever young, forever in our hearts. You will be sorely missed by millions.
Beautiful last performance. I was always a fan of Toby Keith. Cant believe it'll be one yr next month since he passed. He passed away on my daughter's birthday. And my daughter is a fan of Toby. He was truly a great guy, great singer, he supported our troops and more. There will never be another Toby. He's gone but never forgotten. He's death hit me hard. I grew up listening to him. My childhood has Toby Keith music all in it, and memories. Etc. RIP TOBY KEITH. Forever missed.
Ppl😊
My dad told me in 1974 that when rock music has disappeared country music will still be around . This is why !! RIP Toby .
I luv Toby and Country music but Rock n Roll aint went anywhere
Im a solid music lover of all genres but your dad should have never told that because ROCK AND ROLL WILL NEVER DIE!!!!!!!!
Well I’m sorry but your dad was wrong on that one.
All genres of music will out last all of us
@@KathyJo. true true. Even if you're a one hit wonder your song will love on for eternity. And i love one hit wonders
For me, this performance from Toby is as close to perfect as it gets. Even in his diminished state, his voice was powerful and filled with emotion. You could see it in his face...he knew his time left was short and he was grateful for the moment. It's everything I love about real country music. Cheers to Toby Keith.
Amen❤...
Agreed and well said. Perfection.
I watch this video several times a day. I still can't believe he is gone. God speed Toby, you will be forever missed.❤❤❤❤
As good as it gets
Class Act
My grandfather passed yesterday. This gives me chills. He was one strong guy. This guy too. His voice still perfect. Rest in peace.
I’m sorry for your loss 😢
My condolences 🙏
Sending prayers and hugs to you and your family
Sorry for your loss
Sorry for you loss.
Am I the only one who still tears up seeing this?
Nope. I have a Toby Keith playlist and whenever this song comes up I cry.
I don't know what was more moving to me Toby's singing goodbye to us or his beautiful wife watching the love of her life saying goodbye. She quietly wiped tears as he sang. Now this is a real love story. ❤️
RIH Toby
Yes - tears flow when you see her. 😭
Seriously, tough! God bless both
Absolutely
We lost you today Toby. You were one of the first to draw me to country music. Thank you for your songs and story telling. Thank you for your strength and fight to perform live again. Will love and miss you. Rest in love
I cry every time I watch this performance. I cry for the strong man who admits he is weathered and worn, and for the people who are fighting cancer.
I cry because I didn't know if I'd ever see Toby perform again- and here he is with the best performance I have even seen him do.
It was truly a beautiful moment. I love that Toby is center stage and his faithful crew stands behind him in the shadows. Always behind him, supporting him.
Thanks for this Toby.
Too many of us know how cancer ravages a person and their loved ones. I love Toby and wish him many days to come. Each day is precious
I’m balling like a baby! Cancer has taken so much from so many people. God Bless you Toby! I will remember you and your family in my daily prayers!
As a cancer survivor this hits home. Thanks Toby for a great song
SO many, men especially, won't let anyone near their sick soul. They think everyone expects a tough guy. Sometimes, it's the "tough guy" who let's others see their weaknesses. (Even if it is cancer, or another illness) 😢
I lost two husband to cancer I feel you Toby
We lost a special person and a unique performer. Love ya, sir. Thanks for all your support for my veteran brothers.
He was so emotional singing this. His voice is still strong as ever!
God Bless Toby Keith!

Damn it, RIP. Toby Keith was one of the founding fathers for the greatest era of country... 90s country 😥🕊
The "old man" isn't death...it's a state of mind. Many stop living long before they die. That's letting the old man in. Toby never did let him in! God bless you Toby....we sure will miss you!
The old man is death.
well said
I waited months to post something and I still don't have the words..you will be missed toby..your music will live on inside us..
We lost our Vietnam Veteran and Baptist Minister Dad about 2 months ago. He Loved Toby Keith, and all Toby stood for, I hope they’re singing together in Heaven tonight. Pure Americana.
God bless you with comfort and peace. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Amen 🙏
Dear Lord , I just know they are
❤
I am sure they are. Maybe even composing some new ones! God Bless.
As a Retired Marine I loved this man for everything he did for us Veterans. As a man in his 50s fighting cancer now... there are no words to express how I truly feel at his loss. This song and a few other of his have all been anthems of sorts for me at different points in my life. This song and this performance is one that carries meaning and helps me keep fighting.
My husband was a Marine for 16 years. In April he will be 65. It was four years ago last August that he was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer. I watched my husband go from 220 pounds to 125. He endured both chemo and radiation. He had to have all his teeth removed. He was on a feeding tube for two years. He also became septic. All of his care was through the VA hospital in Dallas. This past December marked two years that he's been cancer-free. I am whole-heartedly praying for you. I know first hand the amazing power of prayer. My husband is my miracle THREE times. May God be with you as you go through this trial. Much love to you, and thank you for your service.
@Kirrand, I have been through cancer, and I am praying for you. God bless you and heal you and to the lovely Luciana, Gonzales, My heart is so happy that your husband lived through his cancer keep celebrating everyday. God bless all of you my love and prayers are with you.
Keep up the fight sir, God Bless you, and thank you for your service
@@timpaul8876 thank you for your support. And trust me like all Marines I am full of fight. I had an original diagnosis in 2017 with 6 months to live... here it is 2024 I am still fighting.
Thank you for your Service. God Bless You and Heal You, In Jesus name 🙏
To perform this song so flawlessly is a miracle in itself. The Lord was right there with him no doubt. RIP to a REAL country artist!!!
It truly was a miracle…. One tough MAN!!! Cancer as advanced as Tobys is merciless…. To walk out on stage, hold and play his guitar and sing with his full voice with strength and ease is hard to believe possible…. RIP ❤❤
Yea he did that
Yes Man!
Even harder to believe is that 3 months later he did 3 full shows 2nd week of Dec in Vegas. I'm so glad I got on a plane to see him one last time. Could not believe it when I woke up to the news not even 2 months later that he was gone. Miss him beyond words! Never another anything like him. Rest easy Big Dog Daddy...❤🙏
Strong doubt. Toby was the reason he was up there, he was an incredibly strong man.
I have cancer myself.And this song brings tears to my eyes
Keep pushing we are all with you everyone of us
😢🎉❤
Thank you @@nickfredrickson5414
@@cherylmahaffey6184Thank you
Toby Keith will live on through his music. Seeing his wife crying at this performance breaks my heart. They knew but wanted to reassure us. God bless Toby Keith and be with his family.
I thought the same. Seeing her cry. She knew it was is farewell performance! Gods grace on that family, but oh the glorious life Toby has now!! ❤
Oh geesh! I thought that was Martina McBride🤦🏼♀️🙄
I've never seen his wife. She looks like Martina 🤷🏼♀️
Me Too@@butterflymama12869
😊@@butterflymama12869
Just found out he passed. Broke my heart. What a legend. Rest easy Toby. Never forgotten.
As a Veteran, I honestly appreciate every thing that Toby Keith has done for the Troops.
The "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue" is definitely my favorite song from Toby Keith.
Rest in Peace Toby, you were one of a kind and will be missed 🥲
Lost both my parents 2 and a half years ago, yesterday got the worse news ever again. My brother has stage 4 cancer. I miss my family. No one left. Wish I could hug them all and never let go.
I met Toby one time (along with his entourage) at a Marriott hotel on HWY 9 in Norman, OK. He had come there seeking rooms for displaced Hurricane Katrina victims. I was standing alone by the elevator when he started my way. I remember looking up and thinking “There’s Toby Keith. WAIT!!! That’s Toby Keith!!”. I was starstruck and dumbfounded. He starts by me and stops. He says hello and reached out and shook my hand. I told him thanks for all he does for our military members and he genuinely thanked me for saying that and it was his duty. He exited the building and left in a decked out gold H2 Hummer. I’ll never forget that day.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🇺🇸
“The old man” came for my dad at 58 years old. He was and still is my Superman, love and miss you pops.
He came for mine at 57 miss you everyday day dad.
Sorry for your losses ❤ ❤
Came for mine at 59. Way too young to say goodbye.
Mine at 52. At the time 52 felt so old to me, but now that I'm 52+ I realize that my father still had a lot of life left in him, and a lot of living left to do. It's because of him that I refuse to let the "Old Man In."
Came for mine at 66 unexpectedly, January 20th, 2024 at 0311am. I am still destroyed by his absence. And to boot we just lost Toby an hour ago.
As someone who had cancer at 17 lost a leg at 18 went through a years worth of chemo. This song resonates with me because at any moment during that long year it could’ve all been over. Make sure you take that extra minute with your friends. Never leave a word unsaid. Make sure the people you care about know it. Tomorrows never guaranteed. Thank you Toby for sharing your journey with us. No more pain now Rest In Peace.
I'm glad you're still here 💛 Such a fighter!!
Beautifully said!!!
Amén
God bless you and keep you well. I am going on 6 years remission from breast cancer. I'm so glad you're here to celebrate life. God be with you always.
I hope you continue to stay strong you’re still here so you have a purpose and the Lord has one for you just don’t ever forget that and don’t let go of who you are
I never heard of Toby Keith, Country music isn't my genre. The passion in his voice is contagious. I just listened to this song and it brought me to tears.
RIP Toby Keith, thank you for your beautiful music and showing us the best example of being a Patriotic American! Rest easy, youve earned it
Oh no! 😥 🙏❤️🙏
The physical stature is not the same but the voice is perfect. Legend!
His voice Is perfect. Much love to the Keith family💞💞💞
I've never felt grief for someone I didn't know till he passed. RIP Toby and F cancer
I'm crying watching this for probably the 10th time today. One year ago this week I was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. I know in this song he was telling us he was dying. This song gives me strength to wanna live. RIP TOBY
How can that song not drop you to your knees. I don't care how tough a man you are, tears come rolling out. We love you Toby and we'll never forget you.
I was 21... now i'm 50 .... still miss him... stay strong...
Yes hearts go out to an amazing man, Thank you for being a great Patriot and humanitarian! 💔
I feel it😢😢😢
One of the greatest! It comes too damn quickly! We are all in a hurry, for most times nothing.
I am a Vietnam Vet who was in a hurry to board that freedom bird back to the "country" and went back again to avenge my brother's lost , lives and limbs ! I don't remember getting this old so damn fast. When I look in the mirror I am a lost person, with good and heartfelt bloody memories . Hug your love ones , we never know when it could be the last time . Cherish your times , always greet and end with a hug. Now my time is closer ,I don't like it but, I thank Almighty God for the time he has given me , without him I would never have made it ! Memories stick like a magnet, some we love ,others are nightmares! Stay close to your love ones and Almighty God!
Just a Vietnam Vet Tom
POWERFUL COMMENT BRO‼️🙌
REST IN PEACE, REST EASY TOBY KIETH. Listening to this after hearing of his death, hits hard. RIP
This one hits really hard - we lost a great country singer today, a great patriot and a strong fighter. We will remember you and keep on dancing to your songs - with a tear and a smile, eventually. Rest in Peace, Toby! 🖤
We definitely lost a good one today. A great singer and a true patriot! Like Tracy Lawrence sang "If the Good die young..."
RIP TOBY 🇺🇸💔
How strong do you have to be to be able to sing this flawlessly knowing your time is up any time. You can see the pain in his wife's face.
God's grace provided that strength even for those Vegas concerts. Look those up as well
Toby’s appearance changed so much during his illness. I can’t even imagine how much pain he went through during this time. He certainly looks like he’s been through it. Such a sad thing to watch his wife wipe away tears. They both knew the end was near. ❤
That she could hold back the tears and not just open up. The world is a bad place. Some people live to long and then guys like this due to young
Exactly. The pain would've been immense. A person doesn't go from being a mountain of a man, as he was, to the way he looked here without extreme pain involved and yet somehow, he was able to still get up on the stage. That's strength beyond strength.
@@downhome7500strength beyond strength, actual true strength! Not lifting weights but standing up to the worst conditions of life. Really tough yet beautiful to see.
I feel like he got the opportunity to do what most musicians never do. He touched millions of hearts with that last performance. It’s like he’s riding into the sunset with this one 😢
Amen
..
Toby sang this song as a parting message to everyone. "I wont live long enough to be old, but don't you let him in either. Live your life..love..laugh...be young. Don't let that old man in....remember this..."
Are you still ok I had to ask after seeing your comment
@@MikeMiller-w7sI was paraphrasing what i thought the message might be that Toby was sending to his fans through this song. Me personally I'm fine
@@RedDevilMoto Wise words, my friend.
Yep! Love this guy. So sad that he’s gone.
RIP Toby Keith. A one of a kind. A Patriot. A legend.
A true patriot indeed. 🇺🇸 RIP Toby
I find myself playing Don't Let the Old Man In over and over...and getting emotional every time. What a special man he was.
Me too.
Me too play this almost every l😢night waiting for God call me home
I bought the hat!!!
I use to ride around in the country and have a beverage listening to Toby. He was a part of my life back in the day. When I heard he passed away this morning the first thing I did was play "I'm cryin for me." His tribute song to his friend Waymon Tisdale that sadly died of cancer also. It brought a tear to this 60 year old man's eye. God Bless you Brother. Your not in pain anymore. See you on the other side. 🙏
My condolences to the family. Very thankful for his kid corral in OKC . We stay there when my Oldest grandson was battling Cancer he pass on in 2020 at the age off 20 years old RIP My friend .🙏🙏
I also listened to that song yesterday morning when my husband woke me up to tell me of his passing. That song helped me in my deepest darkest depression moments after loosing my dad. Toby Keith will forever be a legend.
I love all toby keiths songs he was such a great guy I wish I could of met the great guy
Peace and love always ❤❤❤
I love this song I'm 40 year old and a husband and father who is battling cancer and I love this song and it gives me strength.
God bless your journey.
Is The Lord Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior?
From one stranger to another..Stay strong and fight on.
Prayers and God Bless You. I'm fighting to live even though I don't have cancer there's no cure for my illness. ❤ Stay Strong ❤❤❤
In the morning on Christmas Day me, my brothers and my Dad will spend the 3rd Christmas with my mum since she had that horrible nonsense cut out of her.
I wish you all your best in your battle. Keep swinging that Axe 🪓
How honored Clint Eastwood must be to have a song written and sung about you by the great Toby “Big Dog” Keith. ❤😢
They should play this song at Clint Eastwood's funeral.
So o was watching the mule I knew I heard this song before!! It's over 2 years old not his latest hit
But amazing song for him to let is know he will mo longer be with us may he rest easy
I bet this song means more now than the day he wrote it. I'm a cancer survivor and this song for me touches my heart and soul. I'm praying for your healing and don't give up FIGHT LIKE YOU AINT EVER FOUGHT AND BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER MOST OF ALL . GOD BLESS YOU ❤
God bless you🙌
GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO HAS CANCER..IT TOOK MY HUSBAND SKIP 17 YEARS AGO
ditto...
I know the feeling of cancer it hurts God bless you all keep fighting my mother was a 2 time survivor passed away in March 2023 due to the effects of chemo and radiation it brittled her body . I pray each day for the people and families cancer affects .
I never give up because I have faith and Guardian Angels, that it my father/daddy and my mother in law on my side, my mother in law was more of a mom for 3& half years, then my own mother in 58 years
I served for 18yrs in the Army and this song really hit.
Currently I'm supporting my better half as she is going through breast cancer and it hasn't been the best. Tobys songs has always got me through the bad times and helped me smile and reflect.
Gotta be one of the most powerful performances ever
