Garth Brooks has said he decided to return to Ireland to embody his successful Irish gigs during the 80s and 90s, rather than the drama of 2014.
Brooks, who said he has lost 50 pounds in preparation for the shows, told journalists at Croke Park today that the concerts will be a "love fest". He also announced that he will be performing a song for the first time in 20 years.
"In entertaining, you don't take your foot off the gas," he said. "Guess what, we haven't played in 15 or 20 years? 'If Tomorrow Never Comes'.
