How NFL Legend Terry Bradshaw Ended Up Singing At A Brooks & Dunn Show In Oklahoma
NFL legend Terry Bradshaw and country music icon Toby Keith found themselves battling cancer at the same time. Sadly, Keith passed away on February 5, 2024, at the age of 62.
Now, Bradshaw takes every chance to honor his dear friend.
Few people realize that on top of being a retired NFL star and current commentator, Bradshaw is also an actor, country singer, and horse breeder. He’s no newbie to performing, and he also has prior experience singing one of Keith’s most meaningful songs, “Don’t Let the Old Man In.”
Keith wrote “Don’t Let the Old Man In” following a conversation with another famous friend of his, Clint Eastwood. Eastwood ended up featuring the track in his 2018 film The Mule.
“Don’t Let the Old Man In” is a song about aging and mortality. But it’s also a song about living your life to the fullest.
Keith delivered his most impactful performance of “Don’t Let the Old Man In” during the People’s Choice Country Awards in September 2023. It ended up being his last televised performance.
