Garth Brooks is coming back
Brooks also said he did not expect to have any new music or concert tours for another five years.
"It's a proud day for me and my family to announce (this news)," Brooks said. "We're going to take the retirement roof off over our head."
Brooks said making this move 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."
"What people are going to expect from us is 110 miles an hour tomorrow, and the truth is, if we ever do tour again, if we ever do make new music again, it's still going to be another five years," Brooks said.
It was rumored that the superstar would have a residency at Wynn Resort in Las Vegas. CMT.com said Brooks flew from Nashville after the press conference there. He reportedly is holding a 4 p.m. press conference late to announce his plans.
Brooks retired in 2000, saying he wanted to devote time to his family. He has played several concerts since then, including a string of shows in Kansas City and Los Angeles.

The high points for Brooks are the three most traditional country songs - a couple of honky tonkers ("Honky-Tonk Somewhere" and "Cowboys and Friends") and a ballad ("Whiskey to Wine"). ...
After releasing his debut album in 1989, Garth Brooks released music almost every year until he announced his retirement in 2000. Since then, he has released repackaged hit collections, new music on "Scarecrow" and "The Lost Sessions" and last year's cover song collection "Blame it All on My Roots." Over the years, there have been live recordings, concert and music video collections. The country songwriter became a pop culture icon, transcending genre to become ...
Garth Brooks is back with his first release of "new" material since 2001's "Scarecrow." (Truth in advertising, his "The Ultimate Hits," which actually is part of the new box set, included four new songs back in 2007).
