Toby Keith is being remembered one year after his death.

A tribute, presumably from the country singer's family, was posted to his official Instagram on Wednesday marking the anniversary.

"We can't believe it's been a year since the world lost Toby," the statement read.

"Today we hope you will celebrate and listen to his music with us, where we know he is smiling down and raising his cup," the post concluded. "A toast to a life well lived."

A year ago, on Feb. 5, 2024, Keith's family announced that he "passed peacefully" at the age of 62.
