For the past two years, Brooks called Las Vegas home thanks to his Plue One residency at the Colosseum. Loving his time in the city and being able to celebrate his music with fans, the country singer decided to extend his time in Vegas with a few extra shows. Sharing the news on Twitter, Brooks wrote, “Announcing the Final Shows of the Vegas Residency! Don’t miss your last chance to see Garth Brooks/Plus ONE The Vegas Residency live at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace next February 21 – March 9th. Tickets onsale Thursday, September 19thstarting at 10 AM PT.”
Although spending several years in Vegas, the time appeared to fly by for Brooks as he said in a statement, “I can’t believe it has come and gone, already. The Caesars gig has been my favorite so far. No setlist, no rules, just the music and the listener come first.”
Garth Brooks Found New Purpose In Country Music
Outside of his time on stage, Brooks gained love from country singer Jelly Roll, who wanted nothing more than to collaborate with the star. When asked if he would ever work with Jelly Roll, Brooks explained, “When a guy like that stands up on a mic and talks about his relationship with God and the only time I talk to you is when I need a favor, that’s country music. I don’t feel cool enough to be with the young guys so you kind of watch them from afar.”
Other than celebrating his career, Brooks noted he had a new purpose when it came to defending the new generations of country singers. “I think my job honestly, I hate to say this and you’re the only one I’m going to tell this to – is to defend these guys because technology is taking away everything from the songwriter where it all begins and the artists. They’re becoming disposable and that’s not how it should be.”
