Norman, Oklahoma - Country music star Toby Keith has passed away at the age of 62, a statement on his website said Tuesday morning.

The multi-talented singer, producer, and actor died "peacefully" on Monday, just over two years after being diagnosed with stomach cancer.

He was "surrounded by his family," the statement said, adding: "He fought his fight with grace and courage. Please respect the privacy of his family at this time."

Keith, who scored 11 Platinum albums across his multi-decade career, announced his cancer diagnosis in June 2022 and later described his struggles with the disease as "pretty debilitating."

The Oklahoma native had 20 number one hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including his 1993 debut single, Should've Been a Cowboy, which was named the most played country song of the 1990s.

He also acted in ads, shows, and movies, while co-founding the independent record label Show Dog Nashville, which merged with Universal Music in 2009.

Keith variously described himself as a "conservative Democrat" and an independent throughout the years, but ended up playing Donald Trump's inauguration in 2017. The then-president awarded him the National Medal of the Arts a week before being succeeded in office by Joe Biden.

Toby Keith leaves behind wife Tricia Lucus, whom he married in 1984, three children, and four grandchildren.
