Garth Brooks issues statement to say all Croke Park gigs are off for good

Is this the end? We wonder...

Earlier tonight one Dublin hotel was convinced they had good information that all five Garth Brooks concerts would take place. Now it seems that they were given a bum steer as the man himself has issued a statement to say the gigs are definitely off and won't happen.

This will surely be the end of this saga, right?

Aiken Promotions also issued a statement.
