One of Toby Keith‘s final concerts before his death was a special one … with his mom Carolyn making a hilarious appearance on-stage, much to the surprise of delighted fans.
TMZ has obtained footage showing the late country icon in great spirits during a Sin City show on December 12 at the Park MGM Las Vegas … which sadly ended up being one of his last. His last concert ended up being a couple days later at the same exact venue.
In the video, you can see him bring his mom, Carolyn, onstage — joking around with her and encouraging her to tell audience members to “go to hell” — which she did, no questions asked. Everyone got a big laugh out of it, and it certainly served as a sweet moment.
Carolyn was waving and rolling with the punches while sharing the spotlight with her son … with the bond between them evidently strong. No doubt, it must’ve been a cherished memory for Toby … who did, in fact, look a little frail in the clip … but, for the most part, delivered an epic show with his signature vocals. His fans must have loved this too.
As we’ve reported … Toby passed away Monday night while surrounded by his family, according to a statement posted to his Facebook page.
He’d been battling stomach cancer … which he was diagnosed with in 2021. Toby announced the diagnosis in June 2022 … adding at the time he was receiving chemo and radiation therapy, and had also undergone surgery.
Toby’s passing has been a massive loss for the country music world … during his 3-decade career, he released 24 studio and compilation albums and 2 Christmas records, generating $40 mil in worldwide music sales.

Last September, he also won the Country Music Icon Award at the People’s Choice Country Awards 2023 — a major feat for any country artist.
Toby was just 62.
RIP
