Garth Brooks steps onstage in Las Vegas for the final string of shows in his long-running Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace in the coming weeks.
Garth told us, "Residencies are [like] tours – if you do your job right, the very last show you play is going to be your best one. So, that’s kinda where we’re at right now."
Looking ahead to the final performances that’ll cap his nearly two-year-long run in the specially-designed setting of The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, he noted, "We’re starting the last three weekends – the final shows of the residency – and I’ve gotta tell you – the band, and everybody feels like they are on the top of their game."
Beginning tonight (2/21), Brooks has three weekends of shows left at Caesars – three each weekend, nine in total – with the finale set for Sunday, March 9.
Garth’s Colosseum residency has created countless one-of-a-kind memories for people, as each show features varying members of his band, appearances by legendary studio musicians who’ve played on his records, and frequent show-stopping moments from (and with) wife Trisha Yearwood.
Brooks celebrated his 63rd birthday earlier this month (2/7), and he told us he planned to do it in grand fashion and would likely be spending the day in his pajamas!
Garth told us, "Having birthdays is still better than not having them. But here’s the deal – my birthday is every day…literally. Miss Yearwood and the people in my life spoil me every day."
There’s little doubt Trisha – a New York Times best-selling cookbook author who’s known far and wide for her skills in the kitchen – will be doing that, baking Brooks his favorite German Chocolate Cake, as she always does. But it doesn’t end there.
He shares, "My favorite cake is German Chocolate, but because we have a lot of friends whose birthdays are around the same time, she makes a lot of different cakes – carrot cake, key lime cake…crazy good!"
He concluded, "At my birthday party…no gifts. You must wear your jammies or your most comfortable clothing. And you must eat too much. That’s the perfect party for me!"
