We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of country music singer-songwriter, Toby Keith. We are so fortunate to have had him grace our Paul Paul Theater Stage in 1995, 1997 and 1998 at The Big Fresno Fair. Toby Keith was known for his top hits such as “Should’ve Been a Cowboy”, “As Good As I Once Was”, “Beer For My Horses” and “Red Solo Cup” amongst others.
Toby Keith passed away Monday after battling stomach cancer. He was 62 years old.
