Introduction
“Vince Gill Moves Fans to Tears with Powerful Toby Keith Tribute”
The video covers Vince Gill’s emotional tribute to Toby Keith during the Blake Shelton and Friends: All for the Hall concert in Tulsa, 2024. Although Toby had wanted to attend, his illness prevented him, and he sadly passed away in February 2024.
The concert raised nearly $800,000 for music programs, featuring performances by Blake Shelton, Ronnie Dunn, the Swan Brothers, Kristin Chenoweth, and others. The highlight came when Vince Gill performed “Go Rest High on That Mountain”, a song originally written after his brother Bob’s death and later tied to Keith Whitley’s passing. Vince dedicated this performance not only to his brother but also to Blake Shelton’s late brother Richie and to Toby Keith, moving the audience deeply.
The tribute emphasized Vince Gill’s long-standing willingness to sing the song at moments of loss, even though it often brings him to tears. The video also shares stories about Toby Keith’s legacy, including Keith Urban’s humorous memory of meeting Toby and hearing his blunt honesty.
Finally, Blake surprised fans by bringing Gwen Stefani on stage, where they performed a trio of songs, including their duet “Purple Irises.”
In short, the night was both a celebration of Toby Keith’s life and a powerful reminder of how his music, honesty, and friendships continue to resonate.
