Country star, band run for cover during mortar attack in Afghanistan
Country star Toby Keith was performing for U.S. troops in Afghanistan last week when the military base he was singing at came under fire, according to People. Keith and his band were in the middle of the song "Weed With Willie" when mortar fire on the base in Kandahar erupted, sending the band and the troops looking for cover. "We all ran about 100 yards to a concrete bunker," Curt Motley, the singer's agent who was with him on the USO tour, told People.

Keith is currently on an 18-show USO tour throughout the Persian Gulf. The singer and his bandmates stayed inside a bunker with the soldiers for about an hour, reportedly signing autographs and posing for photos to pass the time. Once they were given the sign it was all clear, the country star returned to the stage, against the advice of military personnel. "He went right to the verse he was in and finished his show!" Motley told People.
