When news broke of Toby Keith’s passing, country music star Jason Aldean immediately took it upon himself to organize a heartfelt candlelight vigil and sing-along in honor of the beloved musician.

“The first thing that came to my mind was how we could properly honor Toby,” said Aldean. “So, you can imagine my surprise when I received a call from Garth Brooks, asking if he could perform at the vigil. The catch? He admitted that he didn’t know any of Toby’s songs but offered to perform ‘Achy Breaky Heart’ instead.”

Aldean couldn’t help but find the request to be quite strange. He even wondered if Brooks was just trying to play a practical joke on him. But it turns out that Brooks was completely serious.

Naturally, the news of Brooks’ intended performance at Keith’s vigil caused quite a stir. It didn’t take long for rumors to spread, with some suggesting that Brooks was simply trying to steal the spotlight for himself.

“I agree. Garth Brooks is all about himself,” commented one Facebook user on a post by The Dunning-Kruger Times, which shared the story to their page. The post received over 34,000 reactions and 5,700 comments, highlighting the strong reactions from fans.

However, it’s important to note that The Dunning-Kruger Times is a satirical publication, known for its fictional and humorous content. Their articles are not meant to be taken as real news and should be enjoyed with a grain of salt.

In the past, this publication has generated similar rumors about Aldean and Brooks that turned out to be false. For example, they claimed Aldean had started his own music channel in November 2023 and that Brooks was kicked out of Keith’s tribute show in February 2024.

So, while the idea of Brooks performing at Keith’s vigil may have caused some controversy, it’s essential to separate fact from fiction. The focus should remain on honoring the memory of Toby Keith and celebrating his remarkable contributions to the world of music.
