Video: Garth Brooks coming out of retirement

 

I’m in New York City today for the “Amelia” film junket (look for stories on that next week), but my excellent colleague Assistant Entertainment Editor George Lang and NewsOK host Angi Bruss discussed today’s big news that Oklahoma music superstar Garth Brooks plans to come out of his nine-year retirement.

In this NewsOK video, George talks about the rumors that Brooks will become a Vegas headliner and about other recording artists who have taken similar lucrative gigs.

He also breaks down the Oklahoma native’s impressive track record, which makes this news huge for not just country music but the music industry at large.

The Recording Industry Association of America honored Brooks in 2007 with a career award after he passed Elvis Presley to become the top-selling solo artist in U.S. history. At the time, he had sold more than 123 million albums.
