Country duo Thompson Square wrote, “We are sending big love and prayers for healing.”

Keith said yesterday on social media: “Last fall I was diagnosed with stomach cancer. I’ve spent the last six 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.”

His next scheduled performance was to be Friday in a suburb of Chicago at the Naperville Ribfest.

“We are very disappointed with the news of his cancellation, but our thoughts and prayers go out to Toby and his family as he faces a very difficult and challenging time in his life,” Bev Schafman, chairperson for this year’s Ribfest, said.

“We are examining our options at the moment and intend to replace Toby Keith on our stage, and will announce our plans shortly.

“However, we stand with the millions of Toby Keith fans at this time and say, “Get well soon, Toby!”

Keith’s publicist, Elaine Schock, said in an email to The Daily Herald that some tour dates will be canceled, “but I’m not sure how many at this point.”
