Country music star Toby Keith has passed away at the age of 62, his social media sites and websites announced early Tuesday.

According to his publicist, Keith died on Monday. His website says Keith passed peacefully on February 5 and was surrounded by his family.

“He fought his fight with courage and please respect the privacy of his family,” reads the statement.

In 2002, Toby Keith announced on social media that he had been having chemotherapy treatment for stomach cancer since the previous autumn.

The Oklahoma native said, “So far, so good. I need time to breathe, recover, and relax.” Following his death, country singer Zach Bryan posted on social media to remember him.

“Too many rides in my old man’s car listening to Toby Keith,” it says. John Rich called Keith a “friend and legend, a bigger-than-life kind of a guy.”

Keith broke out in the country's boom years in the 1990s by crafting identity around his pro-American swagger.

During his career, Keith clashed with other celebrities and often declined record executives who wanted to calm his rough edges.

Toby Keith was known for his patriotism in post-9/11 songs like “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.”

He owned a powerful booming voice and a range that carried love songs.
