Toney told revellers at his farewell party: “It's a simple one, obviously love for coming. You know the love. You all got invited for your own reasons we've had some good memories everyone, more memories on our back I'm sure. Might be a bit older, but still get down with it, you know, like that. But, yeah, you're all welcome to come pull up anytime. Flights are on me. Don't worry I've got you. We will enjoy.”
