We got over it, Garth, you really should too.
Garth Brooks has used a Facebook Live video to reveal how much he’d love to play in Dublin, despite the cancellation of five of his shows in the capital in 2014.
The country and western singer had been booked into Croke Park when if you don’t know the story by now, you’ve been blessed by good fortune and we’re too weary to get into it things went arseways.
Now, he wants to make amends.
“I’ve been lucky to play a lot of places,” he replies, when asked where he’d love to perform that he hasn’t already.
“I don’t think I’ll ever get to all the places I want to play because the main ingredient of where you want to play is the sincerity of the people that are there that want to hear it. That’s what it’s all about.
“There’s a place I haven’t played yet that I’ve played before, if this makes any sense. Dublin, Ireland. How can I say it any more than that?”
OK, fair enough, he wants to make amends. Nice for all the people who paid for tickets only to be left disappointed.
However, he lays it on a bit thick by comparing the whole controversy to the death of his mother.
“I can tell you, next to losing my mom, that might have been the hardest day ever for me in music. That’s how much it hurt. I just don’t get it. To this day I scratch my head. I cannot figure this one out.”
He gives sincerity a bad name.
