While appearing on the program to promote his new box set Blame It All On My Roots: Five Decades Of Influences (Review Here), Brooks told Roberts, “You know what, since it’s you and since we’ve had a history forever, let’s announce it. We’re going on a world tour in 2014." He added, “I can’t believe I just did that but you are a doll.”
Of his long-awaited return to touring, Brooks says, “It sure feels good to get to throw your hat back in the ring. All my babies are fine with it. Ms. Yearwood is fine with it. So now I get to do what I love to do, which is play music. I get to be with the person I want to be with, which is Ms. Yearwood. Our baby is a senior in high school,” he said. “My children are off on their own so the guilt of not being there…I’m a phone call dad now. ‘Hey Dad, I love you, can I borrow some money?’”
Brooks will also return to The Wynn in Las Vegas for two days of shows in January. Brooks says, "Wynn has allowed me to keep that room as a laboratory type of thing so I’m going to bring the band out there and let the band experience this room."
An official list of tour dates has not yet been released. A video clip of the announcement can be viewed below.
