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.”

do they tie all the celebrities down somewhere and give them IQ lowering drugs?
Well, he’s definitely a turd.
I did not realize he was an obamabot...I’m deeply saddened. :)
Friends in Low Places? Never did care for him...all hat, no talent.
Right. Garth Brooks is off MY schedule from now on.
Hey Garth, why don’t ya’ll learn the lesson the Ditzi Chicks couldn’t? JUST SHUT UP and sing!
“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.”
Either he’s really clueless about this whole matter or he’s latching on to any excuse possible to get out of performing.
If you read the article it says that he cancelled due to the unrest going on in the country. He did not specifically say it was because of the Grand Jury decision.
Garth who???
I just threw up after reading that. What? Is his fading career leading him to replace Chrissy Matthews?
I dragged out my long forgotten “Garth” CDs and dumped them in my trash can.
Ugh
I guess Woody Guthrie’s This land is your land is off the karaoke list too.. White Christmas, definitely black listed.
Little man. Big hat.
I hope he gets “Dixie-Chicked” for making this statement.

The hell is this fool getting at?
NYC country music.
He definitely is the main culprit in the wussification of country music.
I think he's trying to have it both ways.
