Garth Brooks had a fairly accomplished 2014: He released a new album, Man Against Machine—which we suspect may have gone platinum...if only his website would report digital sales for the album—and he also set personal concert sales records at nearly every venue he visited during the tour supporting that album. Now he'll start off 2015 with a bang, scheduled to appear on the Today Show on January 8, which itself will be of note because he's due to appear throughout the entirety of the four-hour program, according to Taste of Country.
What does that mean exactly in terms of scheduling? We're not entirely sure. We're pretty convinced that Brooks will not play music for the entire period, and even a combination of live performances and interviews with Brooks seems like a stretch. Will the performer just sit in and take part in conversations on a host of topics for the rest of the episode?
One thing we would be willing to bet: Brooks will make some sort of announcement. Brooks last made a primetime morning television appearance on Good Morning America, where he promptly revealed that he was planning for a 2014 comeback tour. Maybe it won't be as exciting this time around but he could easily announce more dates (he's only booked through early March according to his website)...perhaps he'll even make it up to Dublin for last year's huge concert at Croke Park that fell through.
Only one way to find out: Tune in next Thursday morning.
