(Radio.com) It was to be the comeback of a lifetime - after a 15-year hiatus, Garth Brooks was officially breaking his retirement with five sold-out shows in Ireland for 400,000 fans.

On Tuesday (July 8), though those plans have come to a halt. A statement from Aiken Promotions, the company behind setting up the five shows, has confirmed Brooks' decision to pull out of all five concerts in Croke Park.

According to The Journal, the Dublin City Council refused to grant a license for two of the five concerts. Brooks has been adamant that it was "all five shows or none at all." He later added that to choose which shows to do and not to do would "be like asking to choose one child over another."

This news comes ahead of Brooks' press conference this Thursday (June 10) on his website. more on this story
