Toby Keith leaned on religion in his final days.

托比·基思在生命的最后日子里依靠宗教。

In an interview with News 9 in late January, the country singer, who died at age 62 on Monday night, revealed that he's relied on his faith to get through his diagnosis.

这位乡村歌手于周一晚上去世，享年62岁。在1月底接受News 9采访时，他透露自己依靠自己的信仰度过了难关。

“You take it for granted on the days that things are good, and you lean on it when days are bad,” Keith told host Robin Marsh. “It has taught me to lean on a little more every day.” 

基思对主持人罗宾·马什说:“在情况好的时候，你认为这是理所当然的，而在情况不好的时候，你又依赖它。”“它教会了我每天多依靠一点。”

It ultimately helped him find peace with his illness.

这最终帮助他平静地面对疾病。

“I was going through all the chemo, radiation, surgery, and I got to the point where I was comfortable with whatever happened. I had my brain wrapped around it, and I was in a good spot either way,” Keith said. 

“我经历了所有的化疗、放疗和手术，我对发生的一切都感到很舒服。我脑子里想的都是这件事，不管怎样，我的处境都很好，”基思说。

In addition to his faith, he said that he couldn't have gotten through his battle with cancer without his wife Patricia and his family.

除了信仰，他还说，如果没有妻子帕特里夏和他的家人，他不可能熬过与癌症的斗争。

“She’s been a trouper. She stepped right in, took control, and said, ‘We got this,’” the "Should've Been a Cowboy" singer said. 

“她是个捣乱的人。她直接介入，掌控局面，说，‘我们能行，’”这位演唱Should've Been a Cowboy的歌手说。

On Monday night, Keith “passed peacefully," according to a statement the family shared on X(formerly Twitter). The "Red Solo Cup" artist was diagnosed with stomach cancer in fall 2021 but made it public in June 2022.

周一晚上，基思的家人在X(以前的Twitter)上发表了一份声明，称他“平静地离开了人世”。这位“红色独奏杯”的艺术家在2021年秋天被诊断出患有胃癌，但在2022年6月公开了这一消息。

"Toby Keith passed peacefully last night on Feb. 5 surrounded by his family, the statement read. “He fought his fight with grace and courage." 

声明中写道:“托比·基思于2月5日晚上在家人的陪伴下平静地去世了。“他以优雅和勇气进行斗争。”

"Please respect the privacy of his family at this time," the message concluded.

“在这个时候，请尊重他家人的隐私，”消息总结道。
