The Latest News on Garth Brooks
Garth Brooks, even to non-country fans, the name is famous, as this country star is one of the best entertainers in the industry in any genre. While the singer has flirted with retirement on and off again, he finally found a compromise between family and work by playing weekend shows in Las Vegas. Brooks’ shows at the Encore Theatre at Wynn Las Vegas have received positive reviews, and many fans make the trek out just to see the legendary singer. What is the latest news on Garth and what does the future hold for this country super star?
The Calgary Stampede in Canada is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, and thanks to Garth Brooks, it is guaranteed a big crowd. Tickets to the show in July sold out in a record 58 seconds! That is 15,300 tickets sold and gone in less than a minute. Garth Brooks is still a megastar and fans are still super eager to see his shows. Of course, who doesn’t want to see the singer perform his hits like “Friends in Low Places” or “The Thunder Rolls” live and in person?
The year keeps looking up for Brooks, as it was recently announced that he will be one of the Country Music Hall of Fame’s newest inductees. Many fans are surprised to learn he wasn’t already in the Hall of Fame, as he has sold more than 128 million records, and is the second best selling solo artist in the States, only behind the king himself, Elvis Presley. Brooks has had a mighty impressive run, with six different albums reaching diamond status, so it does seem about time that his name be added to other country legends such as Reba McEntire and George Strait in the Hall of Fame.
The 50-year-old singer has no intention of stopping any time soon either, as at some recent events he has mentioned tours as soon as his youngest daughter is off to college. Will this big name star be touring in a town near you? Only time will tell, so be sure to keep up with the latest Garth Brooks news. In the meantime, you can still catch the singer live in Las Vegas!
