The rumor we reported last month is true: Garth Brooks' manager, Ben Farrell, called us this morning to alert us to the news that Brooks is headed to the Sprint Center for a show Nov. 14.
Through his publicist, Nancy Seltzer, Brooks told The Star:
"Several months ago, we'd announced that we would perform a thank-you concert for our friends at Wal-Mart. They suggested either Fayetteville (Ark.) or Kansas City.
"AEG was kind enough to help us out with this concert and and offered the opening of the new Sprint Center. We were thrilled since this allowed us the opportunity to make this an even bigger party by opening up the concert to the public."
Farrell said Brooks isn't coming out of retirement and he's not playing anywhere else. "This is it," Farrell said. Full ticket information won't be released until noon, Oct. 3.
As for the rumors that this will be a multi-show engagement should the one show sell out, Farrell said Garth is committed to just the one show.
Consider, however, that the last time Brooks was in KC -- in May 1996 -- he played four shows and that was part of a nationwide tour.
