His views clash with other country artists in the industry View this post on Instagram A post shared by Garth Brooks (@garthbrooks) Brooks put out a statement on these cancelations, saying, “I have asked the wonderful cities of Cincinnati and Charlotte to wait too long, and I don’t want to now do that same thing to the great folks in Boston and Baltimore,... As far as Nashville, we are looking for a make up date from the July rain-out and though this is not COVID-related, to make them wait makes me sad, as well. So, it is with a heavy heart we announce the decision to cancel all five shows but with a hopeful heart, we will reschedule and start over when this wave seems to be behind us.” Brooks' stance on COVID-19 clashes with some other country performers who are anti-mask. Jason Aldean made anti-mask comments at one of his recent shows, saying, “The coolest thing to me right now is that I’m looking out, seeing all you guys, and I don’t see one f*****g mask. I’ve had just about enough of that shit.” 20 June 2020 - "Garth Brooks: The Road I'm On" documentary follows Brooks' life and career as well as that of his wife Trisha Yearwood.
