Toby Keith, who died from stomach
cancer on Feb. 5, will be an inductee. .

My heart sank … knowing that
we missed the chance to inform
Toby while he was still with us, Country Music Association CEO Sarah Trahern, to 'People'.

down on us, knowing that he’ll always
be ‘as good as he once was.’, Country Music Association CEO Sarah Trahern, to 'People'.

For a while, there was a little
bit of, ‘Oh my gosh, what a
difference one day would make.’, Country Music Association CEO Sarah Trahern, to 'People'.
But he’ll be in here [in the
Hall of Fame], whether it was
gonna be this year or if it was
gonna be two years from now, Country Music Association CEO Sarah Trahern, to 'People'.
Keith's son, Stelen Keith Covel, said that the induction "was always something on a checklist of a lot of things that he knew he was gonna accomplish in his life.".
I was with my mom when we
found out that he was gonna be
inducted, and it was relatively
hard to process in the moment,
but we dealt with it pretty well, Stelen Keith Covel, to 'People'.
It’s deserving. We all know he
deserved it. We’re happy he’s in
here, and we’re excited for him, Stelen Keith Covel, to 'People'

Beyoncé also performs her own versions of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" and The Beatles' timeless classic, "Blackbird.".
The album "proves her adaptability and mastery, regardless of genre," according
to the BBC's Mark Savage.
The genres overlap so seamlessly is evidence
of Beyoncé's technical mastery, but also of her
central thesis: that Nashville's marginalization
of outsiders, and black women in particular,
weakens the music in the long run, Mark Savage, BBC News music correspondent, via statement.
While some critics say that the album
should have been less than 27 tracks, .
Larisha Paul from 'Rolling Stone' said that "every piece" of 'Cowboy Carter' was "meticulously thought out," from the album's length to the artwork.

This Day in History: , Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Is Assassinated.
April 4, 1968.
King was shot and killed
as he stood on the second-floor balcony
of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, TN.
The “apostle of nonviolence”
had gone to Memphis in support
of a sanitation workers' strike.
Widely recognized as the most prominent
face of the American Civil Rights Movement,
Dr. King was just 39 years old.
In a prophetic speech the night before his murder,
King stated that, “I’ve seen the promised land.
I may not get there with you.".
Petty criminal James Earl Ray was arrested
two months later and eventually
pleaded guilty to King's assassination.
After being sentenced to 99 years in prison,
Ray recanted his confession. Questions of a
conspiracy to assassinate Dr. King continue to linger.
King's death sparked riots in
more than 100 American cities.
On April 9, tens of thousands of mourners
lined the streets of Atlanta to pay their respects
on the day King was laid to rest
