Though Toby Keith, the Iegendary country music singer and songwriter, has mostly been on a three-year sabbatical from singing as he battles back against stomach cancer, his recent on-stage appearance in Las Vegas showed audiences that Keith could be making a come back now that his stomach surgery is over and the can cer battle is going well.
So, as he gets back into music and performing, Keith appeared on the Bobby Bones Show, an entertainment industry-focused radio show, to taIk about his battle with can cer and how it is going.
He also spoke about what challenges he has faced as he, now that his stomach can cer battle forced him to take a few year break from singing after years performing, gets back into a very Iimited performing schedule.
Commenting on that, Keith said, I haven’t worked a handfuI of shows in the last three years, but I worked every year for 27-28 years. He then added that his chief concern was remembering the words, saying : The only thing I had that concerned me was being away from it for three years and remembering all the words.
They subconsciousIy come to you when you’re working, you don’t even think about it. You know them. Getting completely away from them and having to start back.
But, though he feared he would have to use a teleprompter to help him remember the words as he gets back in the swing of things, that proved unnecessary.
According to the country music legend, he easily refound his groove and the lyrics came flooding back to him.
Though the lyrics issue fortunateIy turned out to be a non-issue, Keith commented on an unexpected issue that cropped up as he started singing again: finding the stomach muscles to sing loudly and longly.
That issue came not just from his not having been singing in recent years, but from the stomach surgery required for his cancer battle.
He said, The thing I had to overcome—the surgery I had on my stomach they had to stitch on my diaphragm. Not using it to sing every night, that is a muscle.
So I had to really work that to get it where I sing really really hard and really really vioIent and loud, I didn’t have that last 10 percent on the bottom where I could just belt anything. Like when I sang ‘McArthur Park’ at Carnegie Hall, it’s like opera stuff. So, I don’t know if I could do that, but what I do on stage is no problem.
The first animal you see in this optical illusion can show what kind of friend you are.
This image will reveal what type of friend you are
According to a TikTok influencer, just looking at an optical illusion can reveal what kind of friend you are. The blue and white image has lots of stripes that might confuse you at first. Mia Yilin, who has over 440,000 followers, says the first animal you notice shows something about your personality and friendships.
For example, if you see two zebras first, it means you’re good at making small talk and forming friendships. You know what others want to hear, which helps you connect with them. However, when it comes to deeper issues, you tend to keep things to yourself and only share with close friends and family.
On the other hand, if you notice a lion first, it means you prefer to be alone and enjoy your own company the most.
The student and content creator explained, “If you saw the lion first, it means you like to hang out with friends sometimes, but deep down, you’re more of an introvert and really value your alone time.” She added that “you rarely raise your voice because you know that just being loud doesn’t really help anything.”
Her interesting post got a lot of people talking, and many were impressed by how accurate she was. One person said, “spot on,” while another exclaimed, “wow!” Someone else commented, “I can’t believe you can get this kind of information from what we see first—it’s mind-blowing! You’re 90% accurate.”
In another TikTok video, Mia shared a ‘creepy’ optical illusion that supposedly reveals if you’re a friendly or cold person. The image looks like a snow-covered tree in winter, but it could also be a lion. According to her, what you see first gives insight into your character. This clip has been watched more than 71,000 times, and she says, “The first thing you see in this picture can say a lot about your personality.”
