Remember when Garth Brooks was happy to play on top of a minibus in Bray?

Those were the days.

GARTH BROOKS HAS just cancelled all five sold-out gigs at Croke Park, after a fracas with authorities.

The singer said he wouldn’t travel to Dublin to play three shows at the 80,000-capacity stadium.

Remember when he came in 1997, and played on top of a minibus on a miserable wet night in Bray, Co Wicklow?
