Garth Brooks ‘set to cancel Irish shows’By Jarlath Regan on April 1, 2014.
RUMOURS that country music legend Garth Brooks is to cancel his five night run of Irish shows intensified last night when sources close to the artist confirmed that he was still “weighing up his options”.
Brooks, who caused mass hysteria when he announced a string of dates at Croke Park, is said to be seriously considering pulling the engagement.
The cancellation of all five shows, which were due to net the aging country rocker in the region of €10m, will cause heartache and outrage among the legion of Irish devotees who snapped up some 400,000 tickets in just two hours.
This morning, the Irish Post made contact with a senior member of Garth’s entourage who said that despite being very excited about the gigs initially, Brooks now “couldn’t be arsed”.
The source, who spoke exclusively on condition of anonymity, said that this kind of flaky behaviour was not unusual for the star.
“Plenty of times we’ll be talking about going to the cinema all day, we’ll have picked out the movie, everyone will be all dressed up and the next thing is himself will arrive down the stairs and announce he wants to do crazy golf instead.”
The decision to cancel the Dublin dates appears to hang in the balance. The source confirmed that the consequences of taking such an action were explained to the artist in a heated meeting.
Brooks reportedly suggested the cancellation when it came up in a conversation over his plan to go on a paintballing weekend with friends on dates that overlapped with the Irish shows.
“When we told him he couldn’t go paintballing because he’d committed to doing the Dublin shows he went absolutely ape shit.”
The cost of refunding tickets is only the beginning of the problems the artist could face if he were to cancel the gigs.
Apparently a non-refundable deposit for the paintballing weekend has already been paid and a mini-bus has been booked.

Looks like oul Garth has gone with the nuclear option. Apparently its all or nothing now, either he's let do all five gigs or he's cancelling every one of them.  |
