    Krystal Keith delivered a moving rendition of “Don’t Let The Old Man In” when she honored her late father, country legend Toby Keith , during a special tribute concert at Bridgestone Arena in Downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

    Krystal took the stage during the Toby Keith: American Icon show that airs on Wednesday evening (August 28). She wore her father’s custom-made hat as she performed the ballad, which Toby previously shared was inspired by legendary actor Clint Eastwood . A video shared on Toby’s Instagram account on Wednesday offers a preview of Krystal’s tribute. the caption states that “there wasn’t a dry eye in the room when Toby’s daughter [Krystal Keith] gave this beautiful performance of ‘Don’t Let The Old Man In’ during the Toby Keith: American Icon concert.”

The event supported The Toby Keith Foundation’s OK Kids Korral and Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt with a portion of the proceeds, per a previously-issued press release.

    In February, Toby “passed peacefully…surrounded by his family,” following a battle with stomach cancer, according to a statement shared on his social media pages at that time. He was 62. the legendary country star is survived by his wife, Tricia Lucus , and children Krystal, Shelley Covel Rowland and Stelen Keith Covel . Krystal was one of many to share heartfelt tributes to her father, including one on his July 8 birthday, “ we miss him like crazy .”
