He's baaaaaaack! GARTH BROOKS officially announces 2014 WORLD TOUR!

I am the happiest country music fan in the entire world today! Garth Brooks officially announced on GMA this morning with Robin Roberts that he WILL be doing a WORLD TOUR in 2014! With the exception of George Strait still heading into retirement, ALL is right in the world of Country Music! Rest assured that if it takes me selling a damn kidney to see him in concert, it will be done!

In 2000, an emotional Brooks took to the television airways to announce his retirement. Married to then-wife Sandy, he'd decided that he wanted to take on his biggest role full-time as a Dad to daughters Taylor, August, and Allie. With Allie now a senior in High School, and the older girls away at college, he says that he's now just a 'phone call Dad'. And he's alright with that.

Since his retirement in 2000, Garth has played few and far between charitable events. And done one collaboration with 'The King' himself, Mr. George Strait at the 2013 ACM Awards to pay tribute to the late Dick Clark. That night on stage, as he sang his hit 'The Dance', aside from the big 'shit-eatin' grin' on his face, you could the light behind his eyes. At that moment, he was exactly where he needed to be. On stage!!

After a 3 year run of low-key sold-out shows at the Wynn in Las Vegas, Garth has just released an 8 disk box-set that includes not only his biggest hits, but the music that influenced him to do what he does, and be who he is as an artist. And now, with the blessings from all of his girls, including Mrs. Garth Brooks (Trisha Yearwood, whom I'm PRAYING will be on the road with him next year!), he's finally going back to doing what he loves most in the world, besides being a Dad, and that's making and playing music!!

Garth Brooks is responsible for bringing country music to a whole new audience of people around the entire WORLD! He revolutionized so many things about what it means to be an entertainer. In any genre! Having already sold out every single major arena in the world, not to mention playing for over 1Million fans in CENTRAL FREAKING PARK, Garth Brooks is STILL the standard to live up to. Good luck next year Garth and I can't wait to see you on the road!!
