Country superstar Garth Brooks just confirmed the rumors: He's coming out of semi-retirement.
The 47-year-old singer of Friends in Low Places and a string of other hits officially retired in 2000 — though he has popped up here and there, including at the festivities before President Barack Obama's inauguration last January.
It looks like Garth's going to be playing some dates at Wynn Las Vegas.
Update at 11:20 a.m. ET. The Tennessean's TuneIn blog says Brooks told reporters this morning that:
Officially coming out of retirement will enable him "to just go do whatever I want, and not have to worry about who I'm disappointing or what rules I'm sticking to."
TuneIn also points out that Brooks is "country's all-time top-selling artist and the No. 1-selling solo artist in U.S. history."
