GARTH BROOKS has lost 50 lbs! This pic was last April. You've gotta see him

Garth Brooks HAS revealed he’s lost 50 pounds and at 60, he’s currently the same weight he was when he was 35. 

Mr. while performing in a five-show run at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland and while talking with members of the media ahead of opening night, Brooks opened up about his noticeable weight loss. 

“What happened was, weirdly, at the 25th anniversary of Croke Park and Central Park, and I was sitting there looking at it thinking everyone looks the same… what is wrong with your fat ass, here we go,” Brooks said, according to the Irish Mirror.  The seven-time CMA Entertainer of the Year admitted he played the role of “soccer dad” for 16 years and acknowledged that “it takes awhile to get back to the artist feel.” Now, after eight years back on stage, Brooks says he’s finally feeling like an artist again.  “And I’m the same weight I was when we played here in 97, that’s what I want,” he explained. 

Brooks is filming all five Croke Park stadium concerts for a project to be released in the near future.  “This film is going to come. I lost 50lbs and the film is going to add that right back,” he said. The “Friends In Low Places” singer hopes his recent weight loss will allow him to be fit enough to run around the stage because, for him, the weight loss isn’t about how he looks.  “What you want to do is set yourself up for the best chance of success,” he told the Irish Daily Mirror.
