Garth Brooks Has Been A Constant
While declaring the news of his performance, Brooks stated to the reporters via a call on the app zoom that the violence which happened on 6th January recently at the Capitol was sad and disturbing. However, this isn’t Brooks’ first time performing at the inauguration of a US president. He performed previously at the inauguration ceremony of Barack Obama in 2008. He played for the inauguration of each president of the US since Carter, only missing out at the inauguration ceremony of Reagan.
Garth Brooks told the reporters that this is one of his biggest honor for serving at this prestigious ceremony, he said that the name of the president-elect doesn’t matter, what matters is that it has been an honor just to be told and asked to perform at the ceremony, Entertainment Tonight reported. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the heightened security after the riot on 6th January, the inauguration of Biden, in which Garth Brooks will be performing, will be only an experience on the virtual media.
