Garth Brooks recounts his artistic development with a singer-songwriter narrative -- and a whole lot of charm. Brooks has essentially adapted the format of VH1 Storytellers and tweaked it enough to create a semi-free-form show that would feel unique anywhere he staged it, but is especially singular in modern-day Las Vegas, where the spontaneity of the old Rat Pack no longer exists.
Garth Brooks will team up with the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) to raise $1 million in 2010 for his charity, Teammates for Kids. Brooks announced the campaign at a January 8th press conference at New York's Madison Square Garden.
Four days ago, I left a theater in Vegas feeling staggered, stunned, disoriented and completely unsure of how what had just occurred had made such a deep, profound impact on me. Even now, I’m a bit in awe that the feeling hasn’t left me, that my mind still moves from one choice moment to another. So let me just come right out with it: Garth Brooks’ performance at Wynn Las Vegas last Friday was the single best thing I have seen on any Vegas stage ever.
Garth Brooks is suing his hometown hospital for $500,000 for breach of contract for failing to use a donation he made in 2005. Brooks donated the money to Integris Canadian Valley Regional hospital in Yukon, Oklahoma, about four years ago, to go towards a hospital building that was to be named after his late mother, Colleen. Integris claims that their failure to use the money is a misunderstanding.
