In a revealing conversation, Garth Brooks calls the upcoming series of concerts in Kansas City, Mo. in November a natural progression of his life.

"If my life were a football game, then [the years] 1990-1995 was the first quarter, 1996-2001 was the second. Now it's halftime," says Brooks, who has scheduled nine sold-out performances.

Garth Brooks, the most successful solo recording artist in music history, retired from active touring in 2001 to spend time with his family. He said at the time he would not resume touring until his youngest daughter, now 11, graduated high school.
