(18 Aug 2021) GARTH BROOKS CANCELS TOUR DATES OVER COVID SURGE
Country star Garth Brooks is canceling his remaining stadium tour dates in five cities due to rising COVID-19 cases.
Brooks had said weeks ago that he would be reassessing the tour in light of the surge in cases. Tickets will be refunded for shows scheduled in Cincinnati; Charlotte, North Carolina; Baltimore; Foxborough, Massachusetts, and Nashville, Tennessee. He had also planned to play in Seattle but declined to put tickets on sale.
"In July, I sincerely thought the pandemic was falling behind us," Brooks said in a statement on Wednesday. "Now, watching this new wave, I realize we are still in the fight and I must do my part."
Brooks, one of the biggest selling entertainers in music, restarted touring in July and regularly performs in front of 60,000-70,000 people per stadium. Many of his shows sell out well in advance.
His first show since the pandemic happened on July 10 in Las Vegas' brand-new Allegiant Stadium, home of the Raiders. He played for several hours, and wife Trisha Yearwood joined him on stage for a couple of songs.
Brooks said he is hopeful that he can resume touring before the end of the year and reschedule the canceled tour dates.
