As we reported earlier this week, Garth Brooks will be honored with the Icon Award at the this year’s Billboard Music Awards.
Garth said, “So proud to go and represent country music with an award that they don’t give to country music much."
He added, “Be proud to be country. That’s the thing. Country music is treated a lot like the distant cousin sometimes. But make no mistake – we have the best audience…we have the most loyal audience…and I am speaking from experience – we have the largest audience on the planet. These records that are being set? Take Garth Brooks’ name off of it. Put ‘country music’ in it…country music’s gonna virtually have every record that can be out there.”
The 2020 Billboard Music Awards will be held April 29 in Las Vegas (airing live on NBC); Garth will be on-hand not only to accept the Icon Award, but he’ll also perform.
