Garth Brooks, the biggest superstar in the history of country music, is coming out of retirement after a nearly 10 year hiatus.

Brooks has scheduled a press conference at the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas this afternoon where it will likely be announced that he will headline and have his own show on the strip for sixteen consecutive weeks of shows at the Danny Gans Theater at the Wynn.  The comeback will take place sometime in 2010.

If you want to see Brooks you should buy tickets early as the shows will likely all be sell outs very quickly.

Only the Beatles (170 million) have sold more albums in the U.S. than Brooks (128 million).  He sold nearly 2 million concert tickets in 1996 alone.

The 47-year old Brooks has been married to Trisha Yearwood since 2005.  He has three daughters from his first marriage to Sandy Mahl.

Some of his biggest hits include ‘The Thunder Rolls,’ ‘Unanswered Prayers,’ ‘Friends in Low Places, ‘Shameless’ and many more.

No word just yet if Brooks BFF Chris Gaines will be opening for him in Vegas.
