Garth ‘reluctant’ to play fourth night

Country music star Garth Brooks was initially reluctant to play four nights in a row in Dublin this summer — the extra date is also his youngest daughter’s 18th birthday.

Brooks, who has three daughters — Taylor, August, and Allie — took time out from his career over a decade ago to be with them until they all turned 18.

He told RTÉ’s John Murray yesterday that he only agreed to play in Croke Park on Monday, July 28, when his youngest daughter, Allie, said she wanted to celebrate her birthday in Ireland.
