» If Monday Never Comes: "The wait is over ... 7/7." That's all it says on Garth Brooks' official website. There's lots of speculation about which wait, whether we'll find out the dates of the three-year tour he told us about late last year or new music or something even bigger. "There is something that could be happening between now and the tour that might be the biggest thing I’ve ever tried to take on," he told us in December. "I’m excited. If it comes to fruition, and it looks like it’s going to, it will be the biggest thing I’ve ever tried to attempt. I’m really excited about it. It’ll be done right, it’ll be done quality. I’m in love with the idea and we just have to see if it’s going to happen." Stay tuned.
