Country music fans paid tribute this week to singer and guitarist Toby Keith after he died Monday at the age of 62. Keith was receiving treatment for stomach cancer, and his death raised awareness for the condition.
The country music star was diagnosed with stomach cancer in the fall of 2021. Although it is less common than cancers of the breast, lung, prostate and colon, about 10,880 people die of stomach cancer annually in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society.
