And more recently, Toby gave his first televised performance since his cancer diagnosis with a heartbreaking performance of “Don’t Let The Old Man In” at the People’s Choice Country Awards, where he also gave an update on his health and his future plans:

“I’ve walked some dark hallways. The Almighty’s riding shotgun.

But I feel pretty good. You have good days and bad days, but it’s a little bit of a rollercoaster. But I’m doing a lot better than I was this time last year.

I’ve always wrote with a prayer, and as long as I have Him with me, I’m cool. You just have to dig in, you don’t have a choice.”

Of course fans were thrilled when Toby announced last month that he would be hitting the road for the first time since his cancer battle, performing two shows at Dolby Live at the Park at MGM in Las Vegas – before quickly adding a third show when the first two sold out almost immediately.

Well this past weekend Toby finally made his long-awaited return for those shows in Vegas, and he didn’t disappoint the fans who were lucky enough to catch the Big Dog Daddy back on stage.

Videos from the three-night run show Toby working his way through all of the hits – and even performing a tribute to the late Jimmy Buffett with a cover of “Changes In Latitude, Changes In Attitude.”

And Toby seemed to be enjoying himself as much as ever onstage. At one point he even joked:

“You think I’m dying don’t you, you bitch? Me and the Almighty’s got this.”

He also joked around with the crowd while discussing his home state of Oklahoma:

“I hope that’s what you said. If not f*ck you.”
