Country star Garth Brooks is canceling his remaining stadium tour dates in five cities due to a surge in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations, reports FOX News..
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.
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.
Brooks said he is hopeful that he can resume touring before the end of the year and reschedule those tour dates.
Brooks’ wife, Trisha Yearwood, recently told PEOPLE (the TV Show!) that when she endured a bout with the novel illness, he never left her side even though her symptoms were "manageable.
"I had what was considered a mild case and I think that's why we had — we were lucky that COVID didn't go into our lungs, but that's probably also why we have more trouble here," she explained. "It was just no joke."
