Garth Brooks

On Jan. 17, 2000, Brooks was named the Artist of the Decade at the American Music Awards.

The music business is a high-stakes, high-risk venture, and it's not unusual for things to wind up in court.

What a milestone!

Brooks clocks in at No. 24 overall!

But it looks like the pup is on the mend.

Chris, Kelsea, Trisha and Dustin are a few more stars who join this reading.

He feels like he has a better understanding now.

We're READY for Chris Gaines to come back!

"It brings you closer to your team," he shares.

"I just don't see it, I guess, what everybody else is seeing," Brooks says.
