Garth Brooks shared a story behind his weight loss transformation. The country superstar revealed the real reason why he lost 50 pounds. It wasn’t for vanity reasons. He wanted to get back to the same weight he was when he was 35 years old.
Garth became for his high-energy performances. That wasn’t the case on the 25th anniversary of his concerts at Central Park in New York and later in Croke Park in Ireland. Garth was much heavier than in his younger days and the energy was just not there anymore.
That’s when he knew he needed a lifestyle change. In an interview with the Irish Daily Mirror, the “Friends in Low Places” explained how he got his motivation to drop serious weight.

The real reason behind shocking weight loss
The 60-year-old was inspired to lose weight after he returned to the concert hall. Garth Brooks thought about the time he last performed there. He noticed that his fellow artists and performers looked as if they were in their prime. That’s when he realized that he needed to lose weight.
“What happened was, weirdly, at the 25th anniversary of the Croke Park and Central Park, and I was sitting there looking at it thinking everyone looks the same…” Garth Brooks told the Irish Mirror before adding, “What is wrong with your fat a**, here we go.”

The reason behind his 50-pound weight loss wasn’t because he had to keep up with appearances. While he noticed that “everyone looked the same,” Garth realized that he had to focus on himself and his health. For the past 16 years, he was a “soccer dad” for his three daughters. Garth didn’t have any time for his fitness routine.
“You want to try to be as fit as you can. Because my job is to get everyone into that stadium,” Garth Brooks explained. “And we have two and a half hours to get it done. So we will be moving a lot. And physically I wanted to not have that as an obstacle.”
