Garth Brooks, who recently left the door open to the possibility of an inaugural performance for Donald Trump, says he will sit this one out, a person with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap.
The insider would not elaborate on why Brooks declined to perform.
As TheWrap first reported, the county singer was perhaps Trump’s only hope for a crossover performer at his inauguration, with many A-list stars refusing to perform at the presidential inauguration ceremonies in late January.
Earlier this month, Brooks told TMZ that he would be open to performing, if asked.
“It’s always about serving. It’s what you do,” Brooks told TMZ.
Brooks’ publicist declined to comment.
