Toby Keith was posthumously inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame Sunday night alongside James Burton and John Anderson. The world learned that Keith would join the Hall of Fame just one day after his death in February. Keith’s widow, Tricia Covel took the stage to accept her late husband’s medallion and deliver a 16-minute speech in his honor, her first-ever public speech. Keith’s induction featured performances from Post Malone, Eric Church, and Blake Shelton. Toby Keith, John Anderson, and James Burton became the 153rd, 154th, and 155th members of the Hall of Fame. Keith entered in the Modern Era category, Anderson was the Veteran Era inductee, and Burton was in the Recording/Touring Musician category. The ceremony took place at the CMA Theater at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.
