Watch Toby Keith Pay Tribute to Merle Haggard With a 6-Song Medley at the Opry

Less than a month after Merle Haggard’s death on April 6, 2016, longtime friend Toby Keith paid tribute to his buddy with a medley of the Hag’s hits at the American Country Countdown Awards on May 1.

Check out the touching performance that the Opry just made available for viewing.
