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.”

Jackass.
Garth Brooks has always been full of himself.
He sold a lot of records then he went crazy. This is his come back tour.
A genuine jerkoff .. FUGB
The gayest thing a country singer has done since Ty Herndon admitted he likes having sex with men.
Gag! At least now we know who Ty Herndon has been having sex with.
Garth Brooks “is too much of a pussy to . . . . . “
Garth is having a “Dixie Chick” moment.
One of his songs describes Obama’s America...”if tomorrow never comes”.
Well we saw how well that worked out for the Chix. Now reduced to playing county fairs in Canada and bars in Europe.
That song is probably why he said in light of what was going on he did not think it good to appear, it may have been a show about that. Rescheduling makes sense in light of that song.
Oh boo-hoo Garth.... You just wanted to cancel and this was a good excuse.
About a year ago I checked to see the Dixie Chick tour schedule. There was NOTHING! I suppose they may get together occasionally to do a fair or some such gathering.
Don Imus, who is a huge country fan, called Brooks the anti-Hank Williams. To Imus, Brooks epitomized everything that was wrong with modern country music.
YES! ABSOLUTELY!
Probably his last one — I hope!
I NEVER liked his music, but then again I never liked country.
Oh yeah- another rick kid with daddy’s oil money before he became a “star”. He thinks his audience is the lefty Occupy people? distasteful? more like he realizes how irrelevant his dumbass songs are today. married to trisha yearwood— a screecher. What a tacky thing for him to do- trying a comeback. wouldnt bother buffet— he’s buddies with charlie polesmoking Crist. Something wrong with Brooks- started long ago. with his Prince like character switch— that failed.
I never paid much attention to him so this is the first time I have heard of his outlook on things. I have a few songs of his on my iphone but that is about it.
