Country stars, rock stars, alt-country heroes and bluegrass angels all came together to celebrate Merle Haggard on Thursday night (April 6) in Nashville.
The list of superstars set to pay tribute to country legend Merle Haggard keeps getting bigger. Country stars Toby Keith and Alabama, along with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, are set to perform at the 2017 tribute show Sing Me Back Home: The Music Of Merle Haggard.
Toby Keith has been announced to perform at the annual Naperville Ribfest in Naperville, Ill., much to the chagrin of some local music fans. Over the weekend, residents protested the singer's opening night performance, calling him "polarizing" and "too political" because he recently took part in President Donald Trump's inauguration festivities.
Toby Keith was on hand to welcome President-elect Donald Trump to Washington, D.C., on Thursday (Jan. 19). The country superstar performed at Trump's Make America Great Again! Welcome Celebration a day before Trump's inauguration.
