As thousands of Garth Brooks fans prepare to descend upon the capital for the singer's long-awaited gigs at Croke Park, one Irish Rail passenger left fans unimpressed after making a "sick joke" that the concerts were cancelled.
One man's joke that the long-awaited gigs were cancelled as a mark of respect for Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, caused "pandemonium" among other passengers. Taking to Twitter, Martin Schranz said: “God help me I'm in Carriage C on the train from Killarney to Cork with 46 ladies all dolled up for Garth Brooks.
“I just told them the concert is cancelled with respect for the Queen and there's pandemonium.” The Tweet has since gone viral and sparked mixed reaction.
