There have been six haunting final concerts in the history of music, featuring iconic artists such as Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, and Daryle Singletary. One of these memorable performances was by George Jones, who was aware that it was his last show. On the other hand, Daryle Singletary was unaware that it would be his final concert, adding an extra layer of eeriness to the song he decided to conclude the night with.
Following the passing of Merle Haggard, a heartwarming tale circulated claiming that Toby Keith played a pivotal role in ensuring Haggard's departure from the stage was dignified. Unfortunately, this story turned out to be false. In reality, Keith was not present at Haggard's last performance, and the individual who deceived us into believing otherwise was also absent.
In fact, the person being referred to as "that guy" is actor W. Earl Brown, who wasn't present at the event where Keith actually assisted Haggard in completing the task. Brown had only heard about it.

Taste of Country uncovered a review of Haggard's last performance, and within it, they found a remarkable and noteworthy moment that deserves as much recognition as the Toby Keith hero anecdote. This is just one of the six memories from his final concert that are shared in the video above (and in the pictures below).
Included in this video are the last performance of John Denver, the final song of Johnny Cash, and the made-for-TV swan song of Waylon Jennings. It is a bittersweet collection of moments.
We particularly enjoy the Singletary performance. If you are already acquainted with Johnny Paycheck's song "Old Violin," you will know exactly where he left off in his performance. However, if you are not familiar with it, we encourage you to continue watching.
