Toby Keith
The CMT Music Awards will honor Toby Keith‘s legacy with an all-star tribute to the country legend during the show on April 7 at Austin’s Moody Center.
The tribute will feature a stacked lineup of one-of-a-kind performances from Brooks & Dunn, Lainey Wilson and Sammy Hagar, all backed by Keith’s longtime band, with special appearances by Lukas Nelson and Roger Clemens.
Keith had a longstanding history with the CMT Awards, including celebrating 30 nominations with seven wins and 13 performances, including performances for 10 consecutive years. He had many memorable moments on the awards stage over the last two decades, including two co-hosting gigs, in 2012 with Kristen Bell and in 2003 with Pamela Anderson for the then-named CMT Flameworthy Video Awards, the year he was the most-awarded artist of the night, taking home three belt buckles including Video of the Year for his video “Courtesy of The Red, White and Blue (The Angry American).”
The 2024 CMT Music Awards, hosted by Kelsea Ballerini, will air live April 7 on CBS and are available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+. A brand-new one-hour tribute special CMT Music Awards Celebrates Toby Keith will premiere April 11 on CMT, celebrating his most memorable show moments.
With more than 44 million albums sold worldwide, Keith was most recently revealed as an upcoming inductee into the 2024 Country Music Hall of Fame. His chart-topping hits include 32 No. 1 hit songs, with an additional 42 songs reaching top 10. In 2021, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts. Keith passed away in February after a long battle with cancer.
