Garth Brooks had planned to give fans a live interactive preview of his upcoming album, Fun, on TalkShopLive and GarthBrooks.com on Oct. 21, however, a hand injury forced the G-man to reschedule the event to Oct. 26.

Garth injured a couple of digits on his left hand while working on his farm.

“I kept trying—all the way up to showtime—to play, thinking that it was going to eventually get better,” said Garth. “And then finally just had to give in to the fact that I wasn’t going to be able to play for tonight’s show. Hopefully Monday everything will be better, and we’ll be right back up running again.”

Fans had hoped to hear Garth and Trisha sample their new single, “Shallow.” Penned by Lady Gaga, Andrew Wyatt, Anthony Rossomando and Mark Ronson for the 2018 movie, A Star is Born, “Shallow” was recorded as a duet by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. The tune garnered widespread critical acclaim and netted numerous awards.

Tune in to Inside Studio G via Facebook on Oct. 26 for the rescheduled gig with Garth and Trisha.
