Country Music legend Toby Keith, who passed away aged 62 from stomach cancer in February, is to be posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The honour was announced by the Country Music Association (CMA) in Nashville, Tennessee in 2024. Keith was selected in the modern artist category, with the ballot for the inductions closing on February 2, just a day after the singer’s death. CMA CEO Sarah Trahern expressed regret over the unfortunate timing, with Keith unaware of the tributes to come. Toby Keith, known for iconic songs like “Red Solo Cup” and “Courtesy,” joins John Anderson and guitarist James Burton, previously Elvis Presley’s band leader, as part of the 2024 Country Music Hall of Fame inductees. Keith’s music and the impact on the genre will continue to be remembered and celebrated through this significant posthumous honour.
