Country star Garth Brooks making a comeback after focusing on fatherhood
Country singer Garth Brooks, 45, is making a comeback after taking a break for the past 7 years, to focus on fatherhood.
When Garth announced he was bowing out of touring and recording in 2000, he vowed he wouldn’t return until his daughters Taylor, 15, August, 13, and Allie, 11 — with ex-wife, Sandy — were out of school, and he says he’s still sticking to that.
My kids know that what I feel when I play is not one tenth of what I feel when I watch them play. I am where I want to be and knowing that the future might involve getting to do this again on a full scale when they’re on their own and me and [my wife] Miss Yearwood can tour together, that’s pretty good.
Garth’s new album, The Ultimate Hits, hits stores August 27th.
