6 Haunting Last Performances: Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Daryle Singletary + More
George Jones was aware that his last concert was approaching. Daryle Singletary, on the other hand, was unaware, which added an eerie element to the song he selected to close out the evening.
Following Merle Haggard's passing, a false story circulated that Toby Keith had assisted him in exiting the stage gracefully. In reality, Keith was not present at Haggard's last performance, and the person who perpetuated the deception was also absent.
In reality, the actor W. Earl Brown was not present at the event where Keith assisted Haggard in finishing. He only found out about it afterwards.

Taste of Country found a review of what may have been Haggard's last concert and found a moving moment that deserved as much recognition as the Toby Keith hero story. This is one of six memories from his final concert that are shared in the video and pictures below.
The last performance of John Denver, the final song of Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings' television farewell are all featured in this poignant video.
We really enjoy the Singletary performance the most. If you know the song "Old Violin" by Johnny Paycheck, you'll understand the connection. If you're not familiar with it, continue watching to see what we mean.
