Fans are sharing a powerful story about Toby Keith’s final wish. It is a story that, if true, says everything about the man. It is said he did not ask for more applause or one last time on stage. He had a simpler, more powerful request. He just wanted to hold his guitar one last time.
That old guitar had been with him from small Oklahoma bars to the biggest arenas in the world. The story continues that his family honored this wish. They gently placed the guitar in his hands, along with a handwritten note from “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” and a photo of him smiling on stage.
