"Toby Keith Posthumously Inducted into Country Music Hall of Fame"
Less than six weeks after Toby Keith's passing, he has been posthumously named to the Country Music Hall of Fame, with the honor announced in a press conference in Nashville. Despite the rule against inducting artists the year after their death, Keith's induction was allowed as he had already been selected before his passing. Known for his commercial success and polarizing career, Keith's legacy as a singer, songwriter, and musician will be formally honored in a Medallion Ceremony later this year.
