Garth Brooks cancels Thanksgiving appearance on ‘Tonight Show’ after Ferguson decision
The singer wrote on his Facebook page that he landed in New York on the night the grand jury’s decision was announced 'to the news of the civil unrest that was going on in our nation.'
Singer Garth Brooks has canceled a Thanksgiving appearance on NBC’s “Tonight” show because he said it “seemed distasteful” given the reaction to the decision not to prosecute Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson for the shooting of Michael Brown this summer.
NBC on Wednesday confirmed the postponement, saying Brooks was being replaced on the show by Whoopi Goldberg and Tom Colicchio.
Brooks wrote on his Facebook page that he landed in New York on the night the grand jury’s decision was announced “to the news of the civil unrest that was going on in our nation. To spend the day promoting our stuff like nothing was wrong seemed distasteful to me.”

Always knew this guy was a jerk
Yep, I was really enjoying his retirement, then he had to go ruin it.
He's hoping to get another SNL gig.
replaced on the show by Whoopi Goldberg
oh now theres some TASTEFUL ,....decision making
That was SUCH a campy, warm song back in the day.
Hmmm...another country artist who forgets who his base fans are. (See Dixie Chicks)
With all the facts now out about what happened people like Garth Brooks sound like Total Ignorant Fools
“I am glad he left Oklahoma for Nashville.”
I am pretty sure that he still lives in Owasso (suburb of Tulsa). Wish he did live in Nashville if he is pushing this sort of tripe.
And is now apparently anti-law enforcement.
LOL, got me thinking of that Pace Salsa commercial.
"Says here this country music is from New York City."
"NEW YORK CITY?!?!?!?!"
"Get a rope!"
Hmmmm....
“In a 1999 interview with George, Brooks said, “[...]But if you’re in love, you’ve got to follow your heart and trust that God will explain to us why we sometimes fall in love with people of the same sex.”
Happily, I’ve NEVER listened to him, and could not tell you what songs he has ever sung.
I think you're misinterpreting his statement.........Sounds to me like he himself is fed up with the rioting in Ferguson and all the media attention it is being given..........
Brooks cancels his Tonight Show appearance because he’s upset that Officer Wilson was NOT indicted!
You can’t make this stuff up!!
Another idiot multimillionaire LEFTY who supports the MARXIST idiot who would destroy the very system that has permitted him — actually BOTH OF THEM — to grow rich! Funny how that works out so many times, huh? Seems they BOTH have “Friends in Low Places”!!!
Head on back to retirement. Your so-called “career” is over!
gadzooks.
sing that funky music, white boy.
And, or course, whoopi will show up with a gallon of gas and a match, because it would be so tasteful.
Sounds like Garth now wants to make friends in high places, now that he’s made his millions off of the average guy.
That fool?
Every bit the fool of the Furguson protestors,
Don’t confuse me with the facts! I’ve already made up my mind.... errrr, the media has already made up my mind.
Garth Brooks poltics is clouding his mind. Garth look at the facts and get your head out of Obama’s backside
I would post a link but on phone. But in March he announced him and Trisha were going back to Nashville since his children were out of school. I am about 30 minutes from where he lived. And u r right, it is best he stay in Nashville if he is going to push this agenda.
Garth has the talent of a local karaoke singer, the looks of a paunchy chump, the charisma of a Doberman, and the intelligence of a doorknob.
