Country singer-songwriter Toby Keith had plenty of fans in the Erie region based on turnout at his concerts here.
Now, rather than watching for an announcement about his next appearance on an Erie-area stage, they’re mourning his death at the age of 62 after battling stomach cancer.
Keith, whose 20 No. 1 singles included “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” died Monday.

It’s been more than 15 years since he graced a stage in Erie or Crawford counties, but he had at least four performances here early in the 21st century.
On April 5, 2002, Keith performed a sold-out concert with Jamie O’Neill and Emerson Drive at what was then known as the Tullio Arena, now Erie Insurance Arena. His show drew a crowd of 5,770, according to information from Erie Events.
