What is Krystal Keith up to? She's so busy with those kids they are constantly
doing something and when they're asleep they sleep on top of her they just it's like puppies around
them uh a dog they just they just uh worship her and they're so busy together she keeps them so
busy but she I heard her saying at an event um she still got the pipe she can go and she can
write on Wednesday August 28th Toby Keith's daughter would come out of retirement to honor
her father and it was a performance that brought the audience to tears Crystal stood in front of
a packed Bridgestone Arena in Asheville Tennessee Toby Keith’s daughter sings “Don’t Let the Old Man In” Performing her father's don't let the old man in
part of the Toby Keith American eye contribute it wasn't necessarily a decision that was easy for
Crystal telling the Oklahoma quote I went to our team and I said listen my heart is pulling me to
be part of this as hard as I think that's going to be I don't even know that I can make it through it
but if all of these artists are coming to celebr at him and perform his songs and sing I feel
like it would be almost disrespectful for me not to participate in that so I think I
need to sing if there's a space for me and obviously they were like of course
you can absolutely sing we would love [Music] that this moment doesn't necessarily
itched a performing bug up for Crystal songwriting Is she back? never goes anywhere for me I write all the time
um I have songs I can cut at some point I might get back into it um I don't know that I'll ever
tour to the level that I did um just cuz I've got kids and I don't I don't want them to miss
out on I don't want to miss out on them they wouldn't care to miss out on me you know probably
in their teen years but uh really I mean I that's that's an open-ended open-ended thing for me
right now still a very similar sentiment to what her father told us at the top of this video
it was one of his last interviews he did before he passed one of the only moments we have that
the two on stage together was back in 2004 when at the time the 19-year-old would join her dad on
stage at the CMA Awards to perform mocking [Music] bird and a bitter sweet way Toby was there
with his daughter as she sang his song I knew all that Som it would get up go [Music] outside don't let the old
man in as she beautifully sang the lyrics photos of the pair throughout the years displayed
on the screen above her I was personally there to witness this deeply intimate moment
I know I had chills and when I watched Toby's whole family you could tell this moment hit deep
it's been a few months since their father died Toby Keith’s family speaks! on February 5th of stomach cancer something
he'd been battling for a couple of years and so many ways each new turn feels like he passed
just yesterday for them I mean honestly we're trying to do what he would want us to do he would
not want us to sit at home and cry he would want us to live life and he would want us to continue
his legacies and and continue the work he did with the foundation so that's the role that we have
as his children and the duty that he gave us and so I think we're just trying to move forward
doing that as as best we can that's Toby's three children stellen Shelly and Crystal I've dropped
the full interview in the description section of our interview with with them on the red carpet
it's deeply moving and I recommend giving it a look one thing we can confidently say is Toby
persevering up till the very end was inspiring everything's trending really well right now
and I'm not going to let this you know Define my rest of my life and if I live to be 100 or or
I don't I'm going I'm going to go for Toby Keith American Icon airs at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday August
