He caused quite the controversy in Ireland this year due to the cancellation of his Croke Park gigs but it seems that Garth Brooks is still not over the entire affair.

In an interview with the Telegraph, Brooks became very emotional when he was asked about the cancellation of the concerts.

 “Hey man, I’m not trying to be dramatic, my wife would sit here and tell you, ‘I’ve never seen him ache like that for anything other than loss of family.’ I mourned that, and I still am, to tell the truth. Hurts like hell,” he told the paper.

“It was always the place where you couldn’t start a song, two words and its gone, they’re taking over. That’s the way music should be. When you hear them singing your stuff in Croke Park, it’s like heaven.”

Following complaints from Dublin residents who lived near to Croke Park, the concerts, which had sold 400,000 tickets, were cancelled.

There are no plans for Brooks to return soon. However, it is rumoured he will come back to Ireland in 2019.
