    AceShowbiz –
    Country music superstar Garth Brooks will help to deliver the festival experience live music-starved fans have been craving by headlining the 2021 Cheyenne Frontier Days event this July.

    The 125th edition of the world’s largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration will be a star-studded affair, with Blake Shelton, Maren Morris, Eric Church, Kane Brown, and Ashley McBryde among the artists set to perform.

    Brooks will kick off the 10-day event on July 23, while Thomas Rhett and his singer dad, Rhett Akins, will be sharing the stage on July 24.

    In 2020, the event was canceled for the first time in its 124-year history because of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, Cheyenne Mayor Marian Orr said in an interview, “What this pandemic means is we just can’t come together. We really have to stay apart so we can come together again sooner rather than later. It’s clear that we just aren’t going to be ready for this.”

    About its return in 2021, Contract Acts chairman Randy Krafft said in a statement, “We are so glad to be sharing this lineup for 2021 tonight. It has been a long year for all of us and we can’t wait to welcome our fans back to Frontier Park.”

    And, in a rare move amid ongoing COVID-19 concerns, the gathering in Cheyenne, Wyoming will be held at full capacity, with 19,000 fans allowed to attend “with no mask requirement”, reports Billboard.com.

    However, organizers, who had to scrap plans for the 2020 celebrations due to the pandemic, have promised there will be increased cleaning and sanitizing across the venue, where guests will be asked to frequently wash their hands and use hand sanitizer, as well as cover their mouths and noses when coughing or sneezing.

      AceShowbiz – Garth Brooks made sure he was COVID-free for his performance at the U.S. presidential inauguration on Wednesday (20Jan21) by taking a test just before he hit Capitol Hill.
      The country star, who performed “Amazing Grace” a cappella after Joe Biden was sworn in as America’s 46th leader, was criticised for shaking hands and hugging all the former presidents and first ladies in attendance, maskless, after his appearance, but a representative for the singer insists he had taken every precaution in advance.
      The rep tells U.S. news show “Today” that Garth had tested negative for COVID-19 for three days prior to his performance and again hours before his performance in Washington, D.C.
      Brooks also faced criticism from his more conservative fans for agreeing to sing at Democrat Biden’s inauguration, but he responded, “This is not a political statement, this is a statement of unity.”
      Garth Brooks recently reached out to Lady GaGa on social media to thank her hair and makeup team for helping him to get ready for the Presidential inauguration performance.

      Garth Brooks Gets Emotional While Performing Special Song 'Belleau Wood'

      by

      CBS

      During his and wife Trisha Yearwood’s ‘Garth and Trisha Live! A Holiday Concert Event’, the country crooner broke in tears while singing the song, which is about German and American soldiers during World War I.

      Dec 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Garth Brooks could not help but get emotional while performing “Belleau Wood”. During his and wife Trisha Yearwood’s “Garth and Trisha Live! A Holiday Concert Event”, the country crooner was forced to fight back tears while singing his original Christmas song about German and American soldiers during World War I.
      The 58-year-old delivered the tune on Sunday night, December 20 after a fan made the request. “Good luck buddy, cause this one makes me cry, and I never cry,” his wife Trisha first told him. He then informed the audience that he usually sings its abbreviated version as explaining, “I don’t know how long it’s been since I played the whole version, but if it’s not too much for you guys, I’d like to play the whole song.”
      Garth then started singing the holiday track while playing his acoustic guitar. “Then across the frozen battlefield/ Another’s voice joined in/ Until one by one each man became/ A singer of the hymn,” he belted. The musician then paused for a while and determinedly stated, “I’m gonna get this.” After collecting himself, he pushed through delivering the heartfelt tune.

      “Almost made it, so sorry,” Garth stated after completing the song. The “Friends in Low Places” singer went on to elaborate that the lyrics are “so pretty … And when you’re sitting there going, ‘Here’s hoping we both live to see us find a better way.’ ”
      [embedded content]
      The father of three co-wrote “Belleau Wood” in the 1990s. The song tells about the story of several German and American soldiers during Christmas time. Both sides decided to put down their weapons and sang “Silent Night” together.
      Garth’s performance was met with positive feedback. One fan tweeted, “Garth singing ‘Belleau Wood’ in his home studio, raw, acoustic, is the best ‘in-home’ tv I’ve seen since this pandemic began.” Someone else pointed out, ” ‘Belleau Wood’ got me crying too, Garth. Beautiful sentiment always but especially now!” A third noted, “When @garthbrooks cries singing his beautiful Belleau Wood, I cry (who doesn’t??).”

      “In addition to the special, we and CBS will donate $1 million to charities to be determined, combating the COVID-19 virus.”
