Garth Brooks rescheduled his live interactive album preview last month due to a hand injury, and the singer opened up about what happened during an interview last week. Brooks shared that his accident happened in early October when he was loading a chopsaw and was holding “the back end of it, which is the safe end of it.”
“The damn thing collapsed on me,” he said. “When I felt it, I didn’t want to see it, so I took my right hand and just kind of felt my left hand to make sure all my parts were there. I got lucky, everybody’s been so sweet to ask. It’s going to be black and blue for a while, but I got really, really lucky.”
Brooks’ wife Trisha Yearwood noted that this was “not the first time” her husband had a farm incident. “It’s (just) the only one that everybody knows about,” she said, adding that “last time,” Brooks “had like blood over his eyebrow.”
“I’m like, ‘What happened?’” she recalled. “And he’s like, ‘I don’t know, I’m fine, I did this a few hours ago, I’m sure it’s fine.’ He really needed a stitch, but he didn’t get one. He’s careful, but stuff happens on a farm, so I’m always happy when he comes back with all his limbs.”
