According to media reports, Brooks began the day with a press conference in Nashville, and reporters then joined him on a private, chartered flight to Las Vegas.
Garth Brooks has sold more albums in the US–upwards of 128 million–than any solo artist in history, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
