Country star Garth Brooks was scheduled to appear on several shows this week, including Thanksgiving edition of “The Tonight Show.” But his conscience won’t let him do it anymore. Because of … Ferguson?
More from The Hollywood Reporter:
“We landed in NY last night 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,” Brooks wrote in a statement posted on his Facebook page. “I will gladly reschedule any or all appearances the networks will allow. Love one another, g”
Brooks appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, but that appearance was pretaped. The country superstar was scheduled to appear on Tuesday’s Live! With Kelly and Michael, on Thursday’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Friday’s Today.
I have a black friend who loves country music. She calls herself Blackabilly on some websites. Not arguing with you...I know she’s a rare bird.
I didn’t realize that GB is fat. Look at that chin — all three of them.
Never was a fan. Even less so now,
FORMER country star Garth Brooks. 90% of his fan base is (was) white.
He will probably now compete with Fred Thompson on reverse mortgage commercials.
I knew there was something bummy about that guy.
How many bodyguards do this ass clown have when he’s on tour?
Well, I’ve trained myself to put Barbara out of my mind is I guess now I wil do the same with Garth. See, that’s the thing about these people! I didn’t even know he had a lefty leaning! I’m sure there are millions like me too! All they have to do is keep their mouths shut!
But, if a hit Country Song happens these days I would not know unless someone told me about it! Alan is still country and George but few others. I think “women” country music singers are extinct.

garth just say you didn’t want to do the show on thanksgiving.
you have no race card. we don’t take them anyway.
Do you really think these guys are queer or do you think they think is is cutting edge and they want to ride that wave for the sake of political correctness. Brokeback Mountain is getting filled up, I suspect.
I think artists like Willie, Merle, and Dolly all want to stay relevant. That is why they jump on the latest lefty cause. I really worry about the new breed that was hand selected by the music industry rather than by moving up the ladder the old fashioned way. I think they are deliberately trying to infect the culture.
