The country singer said he’s spent the last six months receiving chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

“So far, so good,” Keith said. “I need time to breathe, recover and relax.”

Keith said he’s looking forward to spending time with his family, but assured fans that he will see them “sooner than later.”
