After 13 years in retirement, country music legend, Garth Brooks, finally began his long awaited comeback tour last night in Chicago. The first show of his sold-out tour took place in Chicago's Allstate Arena, and saw the performance of a new song, 'Man Against the Machine', before the performance of his 1991 hit single 'Rodeo'. 

Garth Brooks retired from recording and touring in 2001. 

According to his pre-show press conference, Brooks joked: "Tonight's show is going to suck. We're all old and slow." This was not the case, however, as he went on to perform songs like 1992's 'Papa Loved Mama', 1995's chart topper 'The Beaches of Cheyenne', 1992's chart topper 'The River', 1990's 'Unanswered Prayers', and his most popular track, 'The Dance' closed the show.

Everyone in Hollywood seems to be in high spirits this week, especially Garth Brooks, who used his appearance on The Ellen Show yesterday (Friday) to talk about his marital harmony with Trisha Yearwood. The two recently recorded a remake of “After the Fire Is Gone” – rather unfitting for their own relationship.

Brooks and Yearwood's romance dates back a lot longer, but they didn't get married until just eight years ago.

The song will be featured on Brooks’ new box set, currently out in stores. The now-couple met back in 1987, but they didn’t get married until eight years ago. Back in the 80s, Brooks was with his wife and college sweetheart, Sandy Mahl. However, the country crooner recounts that his connection with Yearwood was almost instant.
