Oct. 22, 2009 (PR Newswire) -- LAS VEGAS, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Garth Brooks recently announced that he has come out of retirement to perform a series of concerts in the intimate Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas starting December 11, 2009.

"Steve Wynn has done what I thought was impossible. He has given me a chance to sing again for the people, while at the same time never missing a day with my children," says Brooks. "I am naturally nervous, but it feels good to be out from under the low ceiling of 'retirement' I put on myself."

Steve Wynn describes the first time he saw Brooks perform in the intimate Encore Theater: "For a single performer to lift an entire audience emotionally to the point where they pray it doesn't end, is an extraordinary and unique thing that only a few gifted people can do. But that is what I experienced when I saw Garth on stage, alone with his guitar, doing a history of his personal journey in music," says Wynn.
