Thomas Rhett says since he’s had kids…he’s had to learn a new skill.. ’compartmentalization’  “Next year, I think I’m gonna at least try to compartmentalize all my different job flows. So like, if we’re gonna write, let’s just write. If we’re gonna play shows, let’s make sure that the show is the focus. And if we’re gonna be dad, let’s make sure that being dad is the focus, and not try to do it all at the same time. I think that’s the biggest thing I learned this year.”

Toby Keith is finally speaking out about his cancer battle, addressing it for the first time since his June 2022 reveal to fans.“I’m thinking about getting back into fighting shape.  I need a little bit of time to ah, rest up, heal up.  It’s pretty debilitating to have to go through all that.  As long as everything stays hunky dory then, we’ll look at something good in the future.” Keith had been diagnosed with the disease in the Fall of 2021 and has been quiet about it since. But as PEOPLE shares, Keith will sit for an upcoming interview with CMT Hot 20 Countdown and discuss his optimism about the future.
