County singer/songwriter Garth Brooks’ final performance of his show at the Wynn Las Vegas will be broadcast live on CBS as a two-hour special on November 29, 2013 at 9pm ET (delayed on the West Coast). The upcoming special musical event, Garth Brooks, Live from Las Vegas, will help send off Brooks’ one-man show at the Encore Theater in Vegas while allowing his fans who haven’t made the trek to Sin City to catch the show a chance to see what they missed out on.
“Blame it all on my roots,” stated Brooks, “This is the soundtrack of my life. Growing up the last of six kids, music was the life blood of our family and as you can imagine, mom, dad, and each kid had his or her own favorite stuff and it all funneled down to me.”
“We’re thrilled whenever we get the opportunity to create a television event with an amazing live performer, and there is no one better than Garth Brooks,” said Jack Sussman, Executive Vice President, Specials & Events. “Garth will give the audience a rare opportunity to not only hear his classic hits, but also the music that became the soundtrack of his life and how those influences from the country, rock and pop worlds set him on the road to become the biggest selling solo artist in history.”
