Artist Updates (12/11/13)

After Garth Brooks made the announcement of his upcoming world tour on Good Morning America on Monday (Dec. 9), the singer-songwriter has revealed that the tour will span three years. He appeared on CBS’ The Talk to discuss the tour, parenting and the influence of KISS’ stage show. “The whole goal in life is to make whatever you’ve done before look small,” Brooks says. “So, the 2014 world tour will be the first of probably a three-year world tour. I’m excited. I’m very excited.”
