Garth Brooks has the honor or being the very first inductee into the newly formed Live Hall of Fame.
Tim Leiweke, co-founder of the Live Hall of Fame, said that it was created “as a place to honor artists who have made a huge impact on the live business.”
Nash Country Daily reports Garth said:
“It’s a total shock and quite an honor. I don’t think an entertainer is anything without other people who allow him to do this.”
He also thanked his co-manager Bob Doyle and promoter Ben Farrell, saying:
“They have made my career possible.”
We’re excited to see who else gets inducted in the future!
