Fox News
Jason Aldean shared the advice Toby Keith gave him with Fox News Digital as he prepared to perform a tribute to the late singer at the 2024 ACM Awards.
"I think Toby was a guy for a lot of us in the business – well, I'll speak for myself. I think he was a guy that a lot of us looked up to," Aldean told Fox News Digital ahead of the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards.
"For me personally, he was a guy that I feel like ... just always spoke his mind," he added. "He said what he thought, whether it was the popular opinion or not. And it wasn't, you know, it didn't always go well for him, and he didn't care. I mean, it was something that if he felt strongly about it and felt like it was something he believed in, he was going to speak his mind."
