Click here to see the summaryCountry singer Toby Keith died Monday at the age of 62 after a battle with stomach cancer.

Please respect the privacy of his family at this time,” a statement posted to Keith’s website and social media said.

He leaves behind his wife, Tricia, and three children, Shelley, Krystal and Stelen, his publicist told CNN.

Keith performed hundreds of shows for US service members abroad, including in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as at events for Presidents Donald Trump, Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

A self-described third-generation Democrat, Keith told CNN in 2010 that his support of service members had nothing to do with politics.

CNN’s Marianne Garvey, Raja Razek, Amanda Jackson and Susannah Cullinane contributed to this report.
