Garth Brooks To Assess Status Of 2021 Tour Dates, Including Gillette Stadium, Due To COVID Concerns

BOSTON (CBS) – Country music superstar Garth Brooks' first Gillette Stadium concert could be in jeopardy with COVID cases once again on the rise.

Brooks is slated to bring his stadium tour to Foxboro in October.

But on Tuesday, Brooks said he and his team will assess if postponements are needed in the upcoming weeks due to the resurgence of COVID-19.

After a performance on August 14, Brooks said he will use the three weeks he has without a show to decide what to for the remainder of 2021.

Seattle is the first city scheduled for after the three week break. Brooks said because of the uncertainty, tickets for that show will not yet go on sale.

"It breaks my heart to see city after city go on sale and then have to ask those sweet people and the venues to reschedule," Brooks said. "We have a three-week window coming up where we, as a group, will assess the remainder of the stadium tour this year. It's humbling to see people put this much faith in you as an artist, and it kills me to think I am letting them down."
