Garth Brooks might appear to have every reason to be one of the most self-assured and confident artists today. In addition to his countless accolades and record-breaking tour sales, he's the top selling solo artist of all time. But even Garth has insecurities.Now officially out of retirement and performing in Las Vegas, the country superstar admits that in spite of all his success, he still questions himself, just like everyone else. "What you see when you look in the mirror are the things you haven't done yet," Garth tells Las Vegas radio station KWNR. "You can get a million pieces of fan mail about what your music means to them, and one piece that tells you you suck, and that's the one piece you keep thinking about."
Despite his worldwide fame, Garth keeps a very simple, low-key home life, which is exactly the way he wants it. Living in Oklahoma with his wife, Trisha Yearwood, and his three daughters (from his marriage to his first wife, Sandy), he fills his days with a normal routine that shows no evidence of his fame. "Just taking the kids to school, getting to play around on the farm, taking care of some business over the phone," he says of his daily routine. "I'm really heavy into my alma mater right now, Oklahoma State. Getting back and seeing those guys is good ... And just being involved in my children's life, being the husband to an extraordinary woman that has a substantive career on her own, either as an artist or a book author. It's cool to get to do all that."
Garth just began his five-year run at the Wynn Las Vegas Encore Theatre, where he will perform 15 weeks a year. Click here for tickets.

If you read the new book "The Garth Factor," by Patsi Bale Cox, anyone can get the names of everyone associated with his career and decide who is the most likely approach (or approach him in care of all of them, hoping one of your requests will reach GB.) You will also know more about Garth than he knows about himself, including how his contemporaries in the Country Music industry see him. Does anyone else remember those heady pre-Keith Urban days when people debated whether or not GARTH was Country? He's way more Country than what Twang Town is pushing at us now.

Too bad Brooks couldn't have been a better husband to his first wife, instead of cheating on her! Don't have any respect for him or Yearwood.

How the HE** do YOU know if he cheated or not? Were YOU THERE? If not then bite your tongue. He who casts the first stone!

Like, who are you to draw the lines??? Do you know every secret, intimate detail of Garth and Sandy's lives??? No, you don't...and since you don't why are you running off half-baked, maybe you should also consider that there are ALWAYS two sides to EVERY story. Moralist. . .mind your own business and check to see what your spouse is up to, as well.
