Brooks has no regrets about walking away from the spotlight at the pinnacle of his career NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)- Garth Brooks has no regrets about walking away from the spotlight at the pinnacle of his career, but he can’t wait to hit the stage again. Millions of Garth Brooks fans will gain new insight into the man who has enjoyed one of the most successful careers in popular music history when Brooks sat down for a candid, hour-long, one-on-one conversation with GAC’s Lorianne Crook. This GAC special edition of Offstage with Lorianne Crook aired Nov. 3 at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT, with an encore presentation at midnight ET / 9 p.m. PT. In a revealing conversation, Garth Brooks called the upcoming series of concerts in Kansas City, Mo. in November a natural progression of his life. “If my life were a football game, then [the years] 1990-1995 was the first quarter, 1996-2001 was the second. Now it’s halftime,” said Brooks, who has scheduled nine sold-out performances. Garth Brooks, the most successful solo recording artist in music history, retired from active touring in 2001 to spend time with his family. He said at the time he would not resume touring until his youngest daughter, now 11, graduated high school. While Garth Brooks acknowledges a desire to return to the stage, he told GAC’s Lorianne Crook that he has never once regretted his decision to back away. He flashed a dazzling smile as he talked of his love for wife Trisha Yearwood, yet, he said, he stays in daily contact with former wife Sandy, the mother of his three daughters. “If I never get to play music again, hey, I’m a father and I am fine with that,” Garth Brooks said. On Nov. 6, Brooks will release The Ultimate Hits, a three-disc set containing 30 classics, three new songs and a bonus track on two audio CDs. The set also includes a DVD with 33 videos including never-before seen footage. GAC will premiere a 60-minute music special GARTH BROOKS: The Ultimate Hits, on Nov. 18 (8 p.m. ET). The program documents the story behind production of the three-disc set. As The Home of Garth Brooks, GAC offered viewers the exclusive television premiere of Garth Brooks’ new video, “More Than A Memory,” the initial step in GAC’s two-month campaign to showcase the music, videos and life of the fastest-selling artist in country music history.
