Garth Brooks, who plans a world tour next year — his first since the ’90s



Country-music legend Garth Brooks will “throw his hat back in the ring” with a world tour next year, he announced yesterday on Good Morning America.


The tour, the 51-year-old singer joked, will probably become a “ wheelchair and walker” thing.


Brooks stepped back from the music business in 2000 to focus on his three daughters and his wife, Trisha Yearwood.


He had limited his performances to a Wynn Las Vegas residency, through last month.


In deciding to hit the road again, the Thunder Rolls singer received blessings from his family.


“Now I get to do what I love to do — which is play music,” he said. “ I get to be with the person I want to be with — which is Miss Yearwood.”


Brooks appeared on the ABC show to promote a new boxed set, Blame It All on My Roots: Five Decades Of Influences.


He will return to the Wynn next month for two shows with his band.
