Country Music star Toby Keith has made a name performing for troops serving in the Middle East, but he got a rude reminder of the danger in the area Thursday night.
 
Toby was performing at a base in Kandahar, Afghanistan, as part of his sixth USO tour in the area. As he broke into the fan favorite “Weed with Willie,” the base came under artillery fire, forcing Toby and most concertgoers to seek shelter until the crisis passed. Fortunately, no one was injured.
 
Despite the incident, Toby Keith stayed around to take pictures and sign autographs for servicemen and women. The Country Music singer will also keep up his touring schedule in the region, doing a total of 18 shows over two weeks.
