Ice Bucket Challenge: Garth Brooks
Brooks accepts the ALS challenge from Nancy O’Dell and nominates Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates and Penguins.
Becomes grandfather
The artist welcomes his first grandchild into the family. His 19-year-old daughter August Anna Brooks and Chance Michael Russell are the parents of Brooks’ grand daughter, Karalynnn.
Our family would first like to thank everyone for their warm wishes and sweet celebration of Baby K’s arrival. Our children’s lives have always been extremely private and they have been endlessly encouraged to be their own people. We have always wanted them to be individuals and not be known as someone’s daughters. I have been amazed and grateful how the press has always respected this. I now ask that respect to please continue as this young family begins the greatest days of their lives.
Brooks, Yearwood marry
Brooks and Yearwood marry at their home in Oklahoma, marking the second marriage for Brooks and the third for Yearwood.
Yeah, she’s the bomb man. She does it all.
Brooks, Mahl divorce
Brooks and Mahl’s divorce is final.
The main thing [is] you can stop being husband and wife, but you don’t stop being mom and dad. You can’t. Because these babies, they didn’t ask to be brought in the world. You brought them in here.
Retires
Brooks announces he is retiring after he releases and promotes one more album.
I’ve done my career with the old saying, ‘Burn bright, burn fast’. I wasn’t going to be somebody that we could come to really appreciate, like Billy Joel and James Taylor, and know that their stuff was timeless.
Brooks, Yearwood date
Brooks and Trisha Yearwood, country singer, start dating.
This was somebody I always enjoyed being around, and we had a lot more in common than I ever dreamed we did. And so we started seeing each other after the divorce and we came off tour… And I’ve got to tell you if you like her and don’t know her you’ll love her. If you love her and don’t know her you’ll worship her. She’s the real deal.
