GARTH BROOKS - BROOKS TO PLAY FIVE SHOWS IN 30 HOURS

BROOKS TO PLAY FIVE SHOWS IN 30 HOURS

Country star GARTH BROOKS will play all five of his sold-out Los Angeles charity shows in under 30 hours due to scheduling conflicts with the city's top basketball teams. The singer made Staples Center history on Saturday (01Dec07) when all 85,000 tickets for his January (08) concerts sold out in just 59 minutes. But he'll have to race through shows so as not to upset the schedules of the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, who both use the Staples Center as their home court. The proceeds from the shows will benefit the California 2008 Fire Relief Campaign, and go towards helping those left homeless by the recent wildfires.
